A Broken ship, away in the deep
let me be
with no masts, without sails
let me sleep
Let the place be soft and the shore calm
all around
with a tilted hull and a bow there
where i'll age
A broken ship, away in the deep
let me be
with no masts, without sails
let me sleep
Let the sea be lifeless and the fish dead
so be it
let the rocks be astonished and the stars remote
let them gaze
The hours offbeat, and the days sad
without grace
and so hollow and immobile in silent nights
let the moon be
A ship demolished and dead
let me be
on a sandy beach and in hollow water
let me sleep
