A Tuesday in the Life of Balaenoptera musculus (A Blue Whale):
Another day ruling the deep sea. Another pod swim with the grandkids. Another 4 tons of krill devoured.
This is a good life.
Today is my 127th birthday, and I’m almost certain that I’m the oldest living Blue Whale, at least in this hemisphere. I’ve been getting birthday cheers from miles and hundreds of miles away. My neighbors are kind. But sometimes I’m nervous that they’re too close.
I sing. At night, when the lightless ocean somehow gets darker, and everything settles down, and I let the water just dance around and through me. When the sea life that I’ve always known grows silent. When no one says anything to anyone, I sing. Sometimes a low note, maybe I can’t even hear myself, maybe it’s that low, but I sing. And sometimes it’s high, a mysterious creaking through the deep waters, a sonic seance, resurrecting sleeping kelp. Under the far reach of the moon, and the darkened blanket of the deep I hum a small tune, at first something minor, something from my childhood, and then I build a little courage to a song I’ve made up a thousand times in my own head. A melody and a harmony and music theory I’ve developed entirely for the ocean to hear. Only the ocean.
Though I fear my neighbors are disturbed by the anti-silent waters, I will sing a little louder, for today is my birthday, and I am the oldest Blue Whale in the deep black sea.
