[00:18.733] There was a b...
[00:18.733] There was a boy who spoke of whale-fall myths,
[00:23.238] Of giants bowing to the abyss.
[00:27.393] He said when whales complete their final breath,
[00:31.783] They turn to sustenance through elegant death.
[00:36.302] He found it tender
[00:37.697] almost kind,
[00:40.583] To leave oneself for what remains behind.
[00:45.732] He never asked, when wonder's framed as grace,
[00:50.197] Who learns to live inside that vacant space.
[00:55.407] They call it whale fall, softly named,
[00:59.051] A beauty dressed in science, calm and tame.
[01:03.446] A massive body sinking without sound,
[01:06.490] Becoming ground where smaller lives are crowned.
[01:12.959] It's told as balance, told as law
[01:16.210] Rarely as something breaking into more.
[01:20.927] Around the fall, the water starts to move,
[01:25.088] Small shapes arrive with sharpened truths.
[01:29.642] They circle slow, then speak in bursts of light,
[01:33.863] Claiming the dark as if by right.
[01:38.471] Of every signal drifting through the deep,
[01:43.391] Most dissolve before they ever keep.
[01:47.917] The current favors those who rise and gleam,
[01:53.110] Not those who hold the weight unseen.
[01:57.728] They call it whale fall, when silence feeds,
[02:01.322] A noble end that answers others' needs.
[02:05.727] The whale remains enormous, even gone,
[02:08.781] Its absence keeps the motion on.
[02:15.061] The sea looks full, the surface calm
[02:18.520] No record of what carried all that harm.
[02:42.479] Romance survives where distance holds,
[02:46.777] Where loss is neat and neatly told.
[02:51.276] They love the theory, not the cost,
[02:55.766] The slow arithmetic of being lost.
[03:02.618] So whale-fall figures sink unnamed,
[03:06.337] Too vast to plead, too still to blame.
[03:10.859] They nourish worlds that never learn their face,
[03:15.702] And call that vanishing grace.
[03:19.922] The ocean turns their end to lore
[03:22.968] They were alive, not metaphor, before.
[03:28.772] And somewhere deep, beyond the view,
[03:33.146] The sea remembers what it used.
