What did I know of waves and drowned sailors?
Five fathom deep, is that it or does it take more?
I don't know, but he was rounded and formed
the waves turning and turning his empty body
to perfection, didn't overlook a single spot
all of them transformed into mirror surfaces
threadbare skin like ebony, but oh so empty
nothing left of what was seventeen and full of life
a week ago, not much to turn him into himself
dead sailors travel light, but the water lives in them
they become houses for crabs, small animals and waves
inside they are nothing like before, drowned sailors
belong to another kind of existence -
