Article describing the extensive #aphotic coral reefs that @schmidtocean.bsky.social found in deep cold water along the coast of #Argentina during their December and January expedition
Deep-sea coral reef found off Argentina is one of the world's largest - Earth.com share.google/MusfGVaKiyMM...
Breakthrough of biological energy in #aphotic zones of the body is often experienced by patients as sudden, overwhelming rushing of fluid, a #cataract of long-repressed #vegetative energy which, once released, flows with force that rigid, armored character-structure can't contain.

A #consolation from #monotonous #apogee and #successor of #chic #boho sang as per the #augury. Beyond an #aphotic ridge in the deep came a romantic soul. #Magenta scales flared under #vespertine moon as the merman arrived #suave and #chivalrous to a #soliloquy of his #bewitched bride's love.

Beastly
He relies on #suave and #chic
Like #magenta relies on red and blue.
#Chivalrous as the crone is sweet,
Until the babe is in the stew.
#Vespertine mouth, nocturnal mind,
His thoughts of me, #aphotic.
No foul #augury could unbind
His hold of me, hypnotic.

I meet their eyes, but if I hold a gaze too long, the light drains from the face. Still, this is progress; this is hope.
I swim through the cityโs #aphotic shadows, studying faces. I need to find one #chivalrous shine of innocenceโ
I am so hungry,
and it is the only snack I crave.
She crept through the #aphotic space, hands out to feel for something, anything, while those voices muttered close at hand
Face up at the scant glow, so far away, teeth gritted while her heart hammered, her breath fast, she begged God for a way out

Barren, #aphotic drones
Selling assault packaged as #chivalry
The ones you counted on
have no souls
You shot yourself in the foot
you dumb martyr

Aphotic Birthday
In the aphotic hush
you pressed a wish
into the dark
a small, bright defiance.
Birthdays bloom
even where light falters;
some years arrive
as quiet rebellions.

chivalrous outlook
lightens aphotic season;
offers coat of snow
#chivalrous #aphotic
Blame our brains
muttering to themselves
in splendid
#aphotic
isolation
for these dark words.
Yet were we to live
like twenty-fifth century
men and machines,
exchanging scalp and skull
for domes of crystalโ
Would our minds,
basking in neon
or strange starlight,
produce wonder,
or horror?
#vss365
Your touch finds the way
to my #aphotic edges,
and warmth blooms under my skin.

Ahead was the unnamed planet, awash with blues and hints of green. Starboard lay the twinkling multitudes of stars that comprised their galaxy, bright but distant from this little system. But portside was simply an #aphotic expanse.
โIs this truly the edge of everything?โ Koan said shakily.
#vss365
The years pass
And with each going
I can see
The screenโs false light
Shining bright to distract
From the #aphotic void behind it
The vaunted font of knowledge
Dried by a cynical desert
And disguised as a desperate oasis.

beyond repair
falls heavily

Christine fled into the #aphotic dark of the cathedral, praying the thing that had once been her sister would pass right by, deterred by holy groundโbut Lily could hear her mortal heartbeat, follow her heat. Wait her out, at least until sunriseโฆ

" #Aphotic? What do you think it means?"
"Hmmm... That it has no light?"
"Why don't they use dark, then?"
"Must be something else."
"Must be."

my #aphotic existence
is not a source of shame
but a temporary state
that should cause pride
If even a fraction
of the world's politicians
spent half the time
that I have exhausted
in this gloomy zone
maybe the world would be
filled with more kindness
and compassion
than we could dream of

DESPITE NO LIGHT
"Aphotic"
(as
in
sea)
can
mean
where
sunrays
sink
and
darkness
starts,
but
deeper
beings
see
it's
where
most
lives
survive
by
their
own
light.

they circle the clown
to toss morals and pride
into the aphotic zone
that glowing city on the hill
gone dark
where once light shone
the hallowed hall
set ablaze
in flames of vitriol
town crier makes
the nightly call
liberty and justice are not for all

if you have ever loved something impossible, you know this depth.
#rapture isnโt fire.
itโs gravityโ
pulling me down

past the blue,
into the #aphotic quiet
where even my name

Here we lay
Both grim & #aphotic
The children all
Become psychotic
Wormwood rotted
Bleached-bone light
Above, Old Luna
Spites the night
Oroberous' blinded sight
Die, we will
Live, we might
And here we lay
I shall not pray
For all is left
A whisper:
Goodnight

I opened the door & came face to face with Lauren. I rushed in to hug her. โI thought Iโd never see you again in this labyrinth!โ
But she felt cold. Her hair smelled of mold. I pulled back to look at her face. #Aphotic eyes stared back at me.
I was no longer sure I had found her.
aphotic depth -
there is no light here
on this cold night
