Great White Shark

Mercury

Creeping on the sea

How she wails

Flails her arms and weeps

Accumulation of debris

Lips apart

Flapping as a lark

For in the dark there is releaseEvery familiarity scarce as the great white shark

Oh, to build

Walls with golden gills

Spike in hand

High above the sand

To kill the sanctuaryEvery mile that is owned

Only stands still by the grace of the stoneEvery familiarity scares as the great white shark

Look, daughter and owl

Listen to her howl

I howled when you were born to me

And you're alive with a breath you can't see

Oh, by the grace of this dream
