| Let us go and journey— | 1 |
| |
without | 2 |
scuba equipment, | 3 |
without any air save that in our own | 4 |
lungs, any visual aid save our own | 5 |
eyes—to the bottom of the Marianas Trench, | 6 |
| |
to the exact | 7 |
spot (there will be no X, but we | 8 |
will know | 9 |
it by the vibrations it causes in our | 10 |
bones) where the first | 11 |
creature—if that is the right term for it—dwells, | 12 |
where the origin lives. | 13 |
| |
Let us go there and meet | 14 |
it. Let us stare | 15 |
into the eyes it does not | 16 |
have, scream | 17 |
into the ears it does not | 18 |
own, and know | 19 |
| |
it understands | 20 |
us | 21 |
completely | 22 |

Is what Jung? Like Carl Jung?
— fireballems
I thought this was really really nicely done.
I love your breaks and the topic is fresh.
Very, mystical, almost.
— madderhatter
thank you very much.
— fireballems
beautiful, i love it already from its surface level, the mystery, imagining the place, the darkness of it, the pressure, the impossibility of the task, which is only apparent, 'we'.
wonderful.

Unknown, I think everyone understands every poem in their own way. I'm glad the poem made your brain start cogging away. I wasn't going for Jung when I wrote this, but I like that interpretation a lot.
— fireballems

Maybe I'll post an interpretation later tonite.
— fireballems
