Ships
The ocean is not deep by virtue of being the ocean.
The ocean is deep because it is weighed down by fleets of ships.
Vessels of strength and possibility, drowned with water and darkness and drawn to the bottom that they create.
Ships float only so long as they are ships.
When they are not, they are just periods at the end of sentences that were never finished.
