A hollow vessel windward blind
Cast an open window on the leeway side and
take the boat out drawing in a lifeline
giving breath to the sail and compass to the time

A solar sail in a clean slate sky
Hand over fist cut and run cross the line
A withered rose, a gibson girl
Keeping water eye, a saltwater eye

Born of the gun with bloodless vein
An Ahab's heart to fathom a name

A phoenix sun under ash filled skies
At bitter end as the crow flies
A soul scarred on a sheet of glass
Keeping weather eye, a salt water eye

Floating Worlds
Soul embodied
Soul in body

Sewn to the devil's seam
pilot by guess and by god
Holding faith along the waterline
thinking lord only knows, lord only knows

Floating Worlds
Soul embodied
Soul in body
