“In darkness reminiscent of the lowest points of the ocean,
Something thick enveloping every bone, making movement and breathing difficult.
At worst, every glowing spot is a trap and at best it’s your own tail.
The line blurs between a lip kiss and gaping jaws.
A forging fight is an act of love while a hug leaves behind only longing for warmth.
Only corals that have been stepped on can grow in the depths of the tar.”
Itamar Jr. Azulay
