Swollen and Halo

The steel that sleeps the eye

Needs nor tax nor toll

The kings with men might lie

Swollen and halo'dHer sweetest skin burnsNow I've buried all the gold beneath my hide

Now I'll swallow breath with bloodOf pole and anchor

Of stone and miter

Of god and beast and

Wine and fish and manThe virgin ground stainsNow we've wandered through the polestar's dusty floe

And my crown is breath and blood
