Great White Shark

Mercury creeping on the sea

How she wails, flails her arms and weeps

Accumulation of debris

Lips apart, flapping as a lark

For in the dark there is release

Every familiarity scares as the great white shark

Oh, to build walls with golden gills

Spike in hand, high above the sand

To kill the sanctuary

Every mile that is owned only stands still by the grace of the stone

Every familiarity scares as the great white shark

Look, daughter an owl, listen to her howl

I howled when you were born to me

And you're alive with a breath you can't see

Oh! By the grace of this dream
