Lyrical Analysis of...

Bioluminescent

///verse 1
at a certain depth the organism makes its own light
doesnt wait for the sun to travel this far, ignites
its own chemistry, its own phosphorescent solution
to the dark, bioluminescence is the evolution
of the light independent, the creature that stopped
waiting for the sun to reach it and developed, dropped
into itself for the source, thats not metaphor
thats two hundred million years of what the dark is for
i been bioluminescent since I understood the sun
wasnt coming down this far, the work was not the one
that attracted the external light and some of that was hard
some of that was sitting in the dark without the reward
of reception, of the visible return, and I
learned to generate the light myself, to supply
my own photons, my own visibility
built from the chemistry of the actual in me
///hook
bioluminescent, guess i make my own light now
i stopped waiting for the source above, found out how
the organism does it in the dark, the chemical
the light that lives inside the actual
bioluminescent, the deepest things glow
not because the sun reached this far, because they know
the dark too well to wait they made a different arrangement
with the light, bioluminescent, self arrangement
///verse 2
the flashlight fish turns its light on and off to confuse
the predator, not a steady glow but a ruse
of intermittent light, and I think about the craft
like that, the sustained visible versus the shaft
of sudden illumination, strategic, timed
the bioluminescent organism defined
its relationship to light on its own terms
not the suns schedule, its own confirm
there are things ive written that only came in the dark
that required the absence of the external arc
of encouragement or audience, required the blackout
to locate the internal source, the map route
to the chemistry of the selfgenerated, and those pieces
are the bioluminescent ones, the ones that release
their own photons you can tell them from the sun lit
because the light comes from inside the sentence, lit
from within the structure of the thought itself
the image that generates its own shelf
life without needing the external battery
of validation those are the bioluminescent gallery
of what Ive made, smaller, stranger, more specific
than the sun lit work but scientific
in their accuracy, a light that precise
can only come from inside
///bridge
turn the light off
turn the light off
see what glows
in the actual dark
of the actual work
see what was always lit
from inside
and didnt need to tell you
