Ship of Dreams
Under ice we sleep
Fireflies dancing in lanterns
Pools of winter sun
Down, down and falling
Crushed, by the iron water
Cold lipped salt geisha
We wave pale silent
Through jet edged anenomies
Caress startled beds
Death’s faithless lover
Floats in ghost seas of angels
Washing bitter stars
Echoing last cries
Hugging rocks, scattered pebbles
Laced with love’s glass thorns
Flames whip up a shoal
Of wild ruby eyed horses
Sapphires and stones fall
Then the whole world stops
Until darkness comes creeping
To turn out the light
