Thoughts of Poseidon's Daughter
Edgily, along the pier
I made my careful way,
(See! My end is drawing near.)
(My destiny, decay.)
I met the all-abiding sea,
No quicker than I'd planned
The wat'ry beast will swallow me,
As I devour the land
I dip my toe into the brine
It dangles from a string
I'd never felt these salty thrills,
Till you began to sing
I taste the spume that flecks my lips
and roll it 'round my tongue,
I bind my hair with cycle clips
And wreaths of dingo dung
"Come hither, now", the waves do plead,
I'll join them in a space
And I'll atone for my misdeed,
My life I will erase.
