a thousand sails saw i swimming on the sea
and not one of them a dolphin fin
come to take me on a trip or blend
the waves in a love of all of me.
so i balanced upon the stern of my own home
grown boat and there beheld a sight of thee
that once upon a dusk or midnight clear of love
did dash my dreams upon the shore.
this day you see was not like all the rest–
myself i lost in thine eyes, i took a test
to see if in you beat my own heart of love. tired of that
you tore my open heart from out my chest. in-
        sensate then i sank to troll the ocean floor
        for all i remembered of life above.
