Morgowles, Smugairle-roin, Slefren-for, Medusa, jellied-fish
reeling, floating in on the waves of the tides of the salt-splashing sea. Flotilla-armadas of comb-jellies,
By-The-Wind-Sailors and Rhizostoma pulmo – Root-Mouth Lung – the gelatinous barrel
of epithelium. They pulse their way
towards us in pullulating wave upon wave – sea-jellies, transparent, rubbery
hard-jellies, atavistic 600,000,000 year old jellies. Jellies bent on havoc. Into our peaceful harbour at New Lynsmouth
they slopped, pulsated and glopped, an alien phylum, pre-dating the Human by
unfathomable aeons and vast, dark gulphs of yawning primal time. Predators now, they had come for what was
theirs – the world ! ! !
