An Insubstantial Creature
"Current-borne, wave-flung
tugged hugely by the whole might of ocean
the jellyfish drifts in the tidal abyss
The light shines through it
and the dark enters it
Borne, flung, tugged
from anywhere to anywhere
for in the deep sea there is no compass
but nearer and farther
higher and lower
the jellyfish hangs and sways;
pulses move slight and quick within it
as the vast diurnal pulses beat
in the moon driven sea
An insubstantial creature
it has for its defence
the violence and power of the whole ocean
to which it has entrusted its being
its knowing
and its will."
You want to see the fiction
You want to walk the sands
You want to know the ending
Because you don't Understand
Little love there was never time to show you
What it was that we were running from
Brittle Bones I was seeking omens
But as it was I just came back here...
tugged hugely by the whole might of ocean
the jellyfish drifts in the tidal abyss
The light shines through it
and the dark enters it
Borne, flung, tugged
from anywhere to anywhere
for in the deep sea there is no compass
but nearer and farther
higher and lower
the jellyfish hangs and sways;
pulses move slight and quick within it
as the vast diurnal pulses beat
in the moon driven sea
An insubstantial creature
it has for its defence
the violence and power of the whole ocean
to which it has entrusted its being
its knowing
and its will."
You want to see the fiction
You want to walk the sands
You want to know the ending
Because you don't Understand
Little love there was never time to show you
What it was that we were running from
Brittle Bones I was seeking omens
But as it was I just came back here...
