Stockholm Memory Syndrome

Iridescent window in the sea,
spider web pressure cracks
like a disco ball in molasses.

Deep blue view—

fishbowl dreams—

aquarium vision—

Seaweed slaps glass
submarine rivers
bend quick,
whip, bite like
hi-hat.
After long enough,
there’s little difference between the moon and the lure
light of an angler fish.
