off the coast of Nova Scotia
poor greynosed lovely whistling your cry through the depths of the oceans wailing for a time passed, long long ago clenching that memory that boat made of ebony that man made of ivory resounding calls through the walls off the coast of Nova Scotia sixty years past since that hot summer night beneath the twinkling stars and as you strayed from your shoal to more shallow depths some great animal blocked your sky and as you came closer to see what it possibly could be you saw through the moonlight a glistening body a sparkling and bubbly man trapped in the stomach of some gruesome freak of nature to the rescue you came but you got all the blame and you were badly beaten with a stick when all you did was try to help and although many years have passed and you know now what you did not then that boats have fishermen and fishermen nets you love him still so on this starry clear night you'll put up a fight and struggle to reach his house embedded upon the cliffs off the coast of Nova Scotia on the shore you will land and there find his hand stroking cross your head together lying in a moribund embrace of the night til morning come and none is left of them both but the rotting carcass of whale, and the ivory of man fin in hand
