The Widening - Death Vessel

The strapping and the seam have parted ways and come clean

Crustaceous in form and cratered with A-shaped holes

Wide, wide, it’s a wide divide

Hands, hands, a show of hands

All oceans aside, I’m drifting and stupefied

In the black interest rows of a nation unearthed too slow and so

Wide, wide, it’s a wide divide

Rake, rake, over the coals that shake

Hands, hands, a show of hands

Embers burn hands
