Down Deep

Birdsong shed as snakeskin
The marinated dreams
Spilled like a child's ice cream
Our waves aren't what they seem
Reflecting violins

The shadow of the sun
Catches bone in its eye
And what these wrecks imply
Is not for you and I
As spider silks are sung

Cold leaves reject their limbs
Slipping inside the dusk
That with a gibbet's musk
Hangs brief colours of trust
In hearts where no shapes swim

Winds over naked hills
Snap at the softened sea
Splicing their guarantee
Into all there is to see
When the wombs revert to chill

Under a night-numbed swell
Thick as the blood of whales
Stroking through ghosts of sails
Watch as the shore lamps pale
Waving one last farewell
