Ode to the Jellyfish

ashesagainstlight:

Medusa Unveiled—
Slippery, translucent bells
Seafoam dawn ring’d thy form
In chimes; reverberate transcendent
Atonal melancholy singeth thus:

Shining oceans bleed iridescent
Thy entangled blades pierce hither
Whereon the waves moon light shudders
As sepulchral shadows laugh and whisper
In the secret language of the stars
