Drowsy Dowsing Dolls - The Low Anthem

Seabirds brushed up on their vows

Starlit sideways bent the boughs

The drowsy dowsing dolls were soused

Branches bend so not to break

Breakers leave how much they take

The drowsy vows of dolls awake

When the rolling arms of sun

Weave their fingers thru the reeds

I’ll go down the cliff to see

If salt’s father is the sea

I’ll set out and know how deep

Across the beach, across the reef

Look and see a desert wide

Listen to the rolling waves

Calling out to all that gaze

Send a bottle as you dive

What lies out beyond the reef

Is the floor a salty sheet
