Full Fathom Poem by Keith Shorrocks Johnson

Full Fathom

Rating: 5.0


At sea, always you are sailing over graves
And the eyes that were made pearls
Watch a little of the wake as you pass above:
Transitory, translucent, impoverished, familiar.

Peer down as best you can as you make way:
You will see little, simply feel the call of the undertow,
And at the depth's ending sense the weight of water
That settles impartially on bone and coral.
