Chapter 134: The Chase -- Second Day

It's the worst could happen
Every waiting day:
How could darkness pass away?

In the early morning
With a captain's grace,
Soon foretold to whence we chase.

With the wind an ally
And the sea to speak,
Brought us place, pernicious.

Thundering breach, froth, and majesty
Tore into view.

And he took us head-on,
And we circled free,
And I lost my death in thee.

Every beacon splintered
In a punchbowl sea.
Firstly, cradled; lastly, leaned.

Would I have leaned any oftener!
Would I have leaned!
