Carolina Caycedo and Courtney M. Leonard, When Whale looks at Human and BREACH #2

A great circle of netting hangs on a deep teal wall, a whale’s eye stitched into it in fine pale thread, watching. Below, on a shipping pallet, sixty pale ceramic teeth lie heaped like a jaw let go. Beyond the doorway, an ocean map glows blue.
