Mitsukurina owstoni, a rare, living fossil that floats slowly in the ocean’s dark depths.
Your prompt is GOBLIN SHARK.
Atrophied muscles
Weak fins, you float unnoticed
Jaws, the trap you spring
It feeds by thrusting its strange jaws forward to capture its prey.
Blade piercing darkness
Time heavy and slow on bones
Desperate maw gapes
When sighted, dread floods
Observers, primordial,
Deeper than marrow.
