Rhyme Scheme: A BCDEFGEHIHIHHJKJLMH| Why art thou cast down O my soul Psalm | A |
| - | |
| Down from twilight into dark at noon | B |
| through darker down until the black | C |
| could not be more devoid of star | D |
| or sunlight o my soul near freezing | E |
| in sub photic stillness past | F |
| the fragile strands of glowing jelly | G |
| radiant with tentacles to sting | E |
| and bioluminescent lures of anglers | H |
| down where water beading on the cold hatch | I |
| overhead has sheathed in dewdrops | H |
| the titanium past dragonfish | I |
| with nightlights set into their heads | H |
| and flanks past unlit cruisers | H |
| blackcod owl fish eelpout skate | J |
| where spider crabs arms long as mine | K |
| on creamy prongs drift floodlit | J |
| over the pillow lava here | L |
| our craft has taken us where no one | M |
| could have come till now but corpses | H |
