At first light you looked so fragile,
|
Felt that if I moved I'd break you,
|
Something solid forming in the air around you,
|
Lifts me off the ground, without a sound,
|
Swallow me whole, body and soul.
|
|
Lift me up and strip me naked,
|
Take my mouth and take my eyes,
|
Leave me where there are no shadows,
|
Under starless, cloudless skies.
|
|
And you say there are no signposts in the sea.
|
|
Lying empty, shell-like,
|
In a storm that seems to pass round me,
|
I can see the shadows of the men that passed here,
|
Watch them take a stand,
|
Take me hand,
|
Swallow me whole,
|
Body and Soul.
|
|
And you say I am the captain of your ship,
|
But you say there are no signposts in the sea.
