Small-Headed Sleeper


A tiny crustacean uses her claws

to attach herself to a greenland

shark's cornea. The parasite is

called a copepod. She eats cells

off the surface of the shark's eye,

and the lesions make pale circles

over the shark's pupil. The shark goes

blind from the scars, at which point

the copepod starts to make a baby.

She trails her egg sac out of the

shark's eye. The sac drifts alone

like a loose rope, waving.
