The Slowest Waltz
The slowest waltz
of whales and waves
undulating
cumbrous whirls
swirling tumbles
breaching black
through foaming blue
these obtuse veers
in churning light
through music's tides
where oceanic notes
drone low and long
within these depths
crescendo's song
tsunami strength
intense expanse
that lifts leviathans
to dance.
