cast about the sea


I cast about the sea
in a vessel suited to me
licked by salty waves
paddling over watery graves
where rocks and waves meet
there a perilous greet
t’was here that I was drawn
as death sang a haunting song

strength did gird my loins
the sea did roll and sink
my mind as sharp as bow
the oceans rot did stink
for all the men she lured
to that easy fateful terror
a song so deeply immured
in want to selfless end
and cast my vessel further
to lost eternity I wend...
