Octopus ink
I wrote a letter with octopus ink and sent it
overseas. The letter never arrived. I heard rumors that an enormous Kraken sank
a mail-boat.
One night, a sea of octopus ink invaded the darkness´
realm. We dreamt the worst nightmares ever imagined. We howled and screamed in
dreams.
Cephalopods were conspiring, clouds of ink exploding
on the ocean floor. At noon, clouds rising up to the sky were mistaken by the
night.
In the beginning there was light. Then Octopus came
and spread its tentacles over the universe and spread its ink, and darkness was
born.
Octopus ink is running through my veins. It darkens my
thoughts and my heart. Tentacles grow around my heart and I am lost in a black
ocean.
By day, our love was plain and simple. By night, we
filled the night with octopus ink: we became Krakens. Our love was a deep ocean monster.
There is a path of octopus ink along the ocean. Only
burning ships can find it on their way to death, oblivion and eternal
ocean-deep darkness.
Sepias flicker to each other in an eternal dance.
Every now and then, some ink accompanies their dance. The reef, always busy,
remains unaware.
Alfonsina saw beautiful
words written over the sea with magical dark ink. The ink was calling her. She walked
in joyfully. Seduced. Enthralled.Prose poems originally posted in 9 tweets @minafiction.
