The fog fell with the evening
\n— the lightship lost —
\nand you arrived unexpected
\nin the pilot-house to see me.<\/p>\n
You are wearing all white and you’re wet,
\nI’m plaiting your hair into ropes.
\nDown in the waters of Port Pegassu
\nIt always rains this season.<\/p>\n
The stoker is watching us
\nwith both feet in the chains.
\nNever look at the antennas
\nin a storm; you’ll get dizzy.<\/p>\n
The boatswain curses the weather
\nand Tokopilla is so far away.
\nRather than fearing and waiting
\nbetter at the periscope and the torpedo.<\/p>\n
Go! You deserve firm land.
\nYou came to see me and yet see me you didn’t
\nI have since midnight drowned
\na thousand miles beyond the Hebrides.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
