A strong song tows 
us, long earsick. 
Blind, we follow 
rain slant, spray flick 
to fields we do not know. 
Night, float us. 
Offshore wind, shout, 
ask the sea 
whats lost, whats left, 
what horn sunk, 
what crown adrift. 
Where we are who knows 
of kings who sup 
while day fails? Who, 
swinging his axe 
to fell kings, guesses 
where we go?
