Inspired by a poem that was performed by Dark Matter when I saw them.

Been thinking a lot about existence, space and the universe. What is below deep sea these is a whole new type of space?

Art by me no stealing please!

WHALESONG by Janani Balasubramanian
"A few weeks ago I watched a sad sad movie about whales.
I spread water around my face.
In the script the mother whale writes a song when the
amusement park rips her daughter away: she makes sounds
that have never been heard, a totally new form of grief.
After awhile the news all starts to look the same: another
whalesong, another cage, another shelter, another bomb.
I've been here awhile and there is a brokenness inside
me that tastes like the blue they used to print your face on
the billboards.
Sometimes I play songs on repeat, each time trying to capture
new forms of grief.
//
Here’s what I still wonder about Noah & his Ark:
If two of every mammal and bird were on that ship,
what happened to the fish?
Here’s my theory:
At that juncture of the world,
the fish became moons,
(so many for red red Jupiter alone)
small fish became stars,
the squid became whole black holes,
ink everywhere.
They say that both the gravity and the darkness
at the bottom of the ocean
mimic deep space.
What if the ocean simply made a copy of itself?
One below us, one above.
You don’t believe me?
Then think, why does the sand oblige
when the moon pulls the shore in by its neck.
Why is it that the sun borrows light each day
from water to the sky
and returns it each night
so we tremble in the dark.
Why else would the water keep leaving the sweet sweet dirt
to float up past the dangerous canopy.
To this day, the octopus has the most alien DNA
we’ve ever deciphered.
And even in capture, fish still twinkle
like the stars too are harpooned in their eyes.
...
Pretty soon, we will run out of versions and art forms of grief.
Just like we ran out of oil, and phosphorous, and fish.
I wish we were not living in the age of debris
and that men were allowed to sing.
I wish there were still beauty and puppets in the belly of a whale instead of trash.
Mostly, I wish this whole damn spectacle would end."
