She woke startled then enraged.
He pulled out all the stops to coax her
Cajole her to copulate. Nothing worked

I drink in the deep through half-moons
when sails flap to shift the gears of life
as sockets strain, steering away from deadly
current. Winds shell out salt to season seasons

O' you that sit upon the sea
Of life and health and harmony,
What is it that you really are....
A fish, a float, a fallen star?

Earth has lost the praise of heaven
But has gained the curse of hell,
Man lies barren like the desert-
In the grip of grab and sell

Moving unhindered through space and time,
Give to thought and feeling a form
With ageless nature from first dawn-
...

into a chapel of rest and stared
at themselves lying lifeless but wrapped warmly.

Sifting through pungent poems pitched,
your assegais skate off armour and shield
impotent as Smith's talismanic magic.
Those false words are nets cast to sea
