Years and years swimming alone in the black,
scraping out a living in this deep-sea crack.
Six kilometres of water pressing down on me.
In this barren landscape, trying to sniff out a feast,
when suddenly...
Across the whale carcass our eyes meet,
and you're just as ugly as me.
Your body is also gelatinous and fat,
but there is nothing wrong with that
when you live in the hadal zone.
Alone. No longer alone.
Won't you come with me?
Together we'll traverse the deep,
way down at the bottom of the sea.
