Serenaded by Sirens
Another Seafaring Mystery
Fleshed flotsam cast asunder
by an unforgiving sea,
never known
for having shown
beleaguered sailors mercy.
From the Devil’s Triangle
to Niflheim, north of Thule
cardinal directions
stripped of their authority.
Tides turn
in a manner most unkind
A transient horizon line
ever ahead, never behind.
A gravity from which I can't break free
Syrens serenading me
to the pinnacle of
Challenger Deep's profundity.
