first was observed
starboard
starboard side of our
vessel
an omen
in an ink black
bottomless
sea
in eighteen ninety
three
we lost our course
that night
we lost our senses
too
the sky was starred
and moored
in reflective tar
black residue
the barnacles amassed
upon our hull
off-white shining
fell
down
into the
deep
And soon our maiden
voyage and we
would also
to the
deep
and
hasten
to our
sleep
