Sea-beast

I gave my body to the night.

The waves will crash upon my shore.

Reckless shadows, harmless wight.

Against this I am sure to fight.

But I do not dare ask you for more.

I gave my body to the night.

The night-edge tips you to my slight.

You seized me as I shut the door.

Reckless shadows, harmless wight.

You showed me flesh that shone so bright.

I buried it, I knew the score.

I gave my body to the night.

And now where sea-beasts roar their might

My shape will scuttle on sea-floor.

I gave my body to the night.

Reckless shadows, harmless wight.
