Rime
Convulse serpentine
Veracious sea divides
Exposing sediments
Once encumbered by

Oceanic tome
Anatomies intone
Scars the edifice
With echoes of life

Leviathan speak your sacrament
The surface heaves with fathom breath
Gravest deep, abyssal sink
Pour liquids down to quench your wrath

Gullet sounds tease lithic notes
Drag discarded dreams from atrophy
We smile with vague rеcollections
Then once again wе discard

Listen! the shrill gull extols
From eroded bow we are deafened
Litanies of kelp and salt
Lost on senses permanently dulled
The instruments have lost their song
Without the words we mouth along
Shanty notes in dissonance
The ragged verse of incontinence

The water resonates with ire
And bile to drench the funeral pyre
The land is scab upon new wounds
We pick away to exhume

The blood is life! We hollow out!
Finite gain from stratal stone!
Anchors cast on shifting plates!
To drag us down to grave fortune!

Our woe is us!

Inebriant! fermented seas!
Liquor taste of bitterness!
Acid broils within our bowels!
Last utterance of gut instinct!

Our woe is us!
