In the mustardseed sun	A
By full tilt river and switchback sea	B
Where the cormorants scud	C
In his house on stilts high among beaks	B
And palavers of birds	B
This sandgrain day in the bent bay's grave	D
He celebrates and spurns	B
His driftwood thirty fifth wind turned age	E
Herons spire and spear	F
	-
Under and round him go	G
Flounders gulls on their cold dying trails	B
Doing what they are told	H
Curlews aloud in the congered waves	B
Work at their ways to death	I
And the rhymer in the long tongued room	J
Who tolls his birthday bell	K
Toesl towards the ambush of his wounds	B
Herons stepple stemmed bless	B
	-
In the thistledown fall	L
He sings towards anguish finches fly	M
In the claw tracks of hawks	B
On a seizing sky small fishes glide	N
Through wynds and shells of drowned	O
Ship towns to pastures of otters He	B
In his slant racking house	B
And the hewn coils of his trade perceives	B
Herons walk in their shroud	P
	-
The livelong river's robe	Q
Of minnows wreathing around their prayer	R
And far at sea he knows	B
Who slaves to his crouched eternal end	S
Under a serpent cloud	P
Dolphins dyive in their turnturtle dust	T
The rippled seals streak down	U
To kill and their own tide daubing blood	C
Slides good in the sleek mouth	V
	-
In a cavernous swung	W
Wave's silence wept white angelus knells	B
Thirty five bells sing struck	X
On skull and scar where his lovews lie wrecked	Y
Steered by the falling stars	B
And to morrow weeps in a blind cage	E
Terror will rage apart	Z
Before chains break to a hammer flame	A2
And love unbolts the dark	B2
	-
And freely he goes lost	C2
In the unknown famous light of great	D2
And fabulous dear God	E2
Dark is a way and light is a place	B
Heaven that never was	B
Nor will be ever is alwas true	F2
And in that brambled void	G2
Plenty as blackberries in the woods	B
The dead grow for His joy	H2
	-
There he might wander bare	R
With the spirits of the horseshoe bay	I2
Or the stars' seashore dead	J2
Marrow of eagles the roots of whales	B
And wishbones of wild geese	B
With blessed unborn God and His Ghost	K2
And every soul His priest	L2
Gulled and chanter in youg Heaven's fold	H
Be at cloud quaking peace	B
	-
But dark is a long way	I2
He on the earth of the night alone	M2
With all the living prays	B
Who knows the rocketing wind will blow	G
The bones out of the hills	B
And the scythed boulders bleed and the last	N2
Rage shattered waters kick	O2
Masts and fishes to the still quick stars	B
Faithlessly unto Him	P2
	-
Who is the light of old	H
And air shaped Heaven where souls grow wild	Q2
As horses in the foam	R2
Oh let me midlife mourn by the shrined	Q2
And druid herons' vows	B
The voyage to ruin I must run	A
Dawn ships clouted aground	Q2
Yet though I cry with tumbledown tongue	W
Count my blessings aloud	Q2
	-
Four elements and five	S2
Senses and man a spirit in love	T2
Thangling through this spun slime	U2
To his nimbus bell cool kingdom come	V2
And the lost moonshine domes	B
And the sea that hides his secret selves	B
Deep in its black base bones	B
Lulling of spheres in the seashell flesh	W2
And this last blessing most	Q2
	-
That the closer I move	X2
To death one man through his sundered hulks	B
The louder the sun blooms	B
And the tusked ramshackling sea exults	B
And every wave of the way	I2
And gale I tackle the whole world then	Y2
With more triumphant faith	Z2
That ever was since the world was said	Q2
Spins its morning of praise	B
	-
I hear the bouncing hills	B
Grow larked and greener at berry brown	U
Fall and the dew larks sing	A3
Taller this thuderclap spring and how	B3
More spanned with angles ride	Q2
The mansouled fiery islands Oh	G
Holier then their eyes	B
And my shining men no more alone	M2
As I sail out to die	Q2
