Chapter 29: Enter Ahab; to him, Stubb

Summer nights
I've been sailing on the oceans of memory,
A vision I've been saving of you.
Following you
In a passion, my actions are a remedy
For the truth.

Summer nights
I've been pacing, cracked upon your every dream;
Sleep feels like I'll slumber indefinitely.
Up from my tomb
In a restless, ponderous oppressiveness
Over you.

The days are overflowing with peacefulness,
The warmth of but a passing goodbye.
I stand upon the only
Leg you left to hold me
Upright in the great ecstasy!

Summer nights
All I want is another dance for you and me,
A chance to make you forever mine.
Longing for you
Is a purpose, an absolute subversiveness
Of the rules.
