Decapodiformes

Deep in the craquelure 

of our planet's ocean
Entrenched under crevices

 and caverns impenetrable
By man for any concerted 

mapping of what lay underneath.
In malacological terms or any 

other that lay out of reach

Decapodiformes dwelled 

in gelatinous puddles

Ensconced within one 

another in a series 

of nesting embraces

Dreaming of the day 

they could escape 

One another in 

a slurry of newly

formed faces
