Poem no. 22, 30th April 2025
One, two, ahoy we sail!
Two, three, the Hero and the Maid
Three, four, into the belly of the beast
Four, five, all light snuffed out
Five, six … and darkness cometh, and darkness groweth
Six, the valiant Voyager sobs
One, two, amidst the battle!
Two, three, the Saviour and the Saved
Three, four, the mystics kneel
Four, five, Amen lost at sea
Five, six … it is swallowed, and it swallows
Six, a faint Star forms
One, two, in You we trust
Two, three, the Muse and her Sage
Three, four, the sermon of the waves
Four, five, holy be the compass
Five, six … the sacred crosses, and the sacred returns
Six, the Phoenix is ablaze
