Ink


Ink spills into the water
Swimming through the current like a web
like dolphin
or a shark
with weapons worse than teeth
deflecting solar rays
Slowly, but surely darkening the water
But Just remember
When a smile is dangerous 
The void seems empty but it is anything but
Only a few particles of light can escape it
But those who can
are the heroes
