Waves with rough hewn faces
Waves like new cut wood
Wooden waves cracking and splintering
Struck by lightning far from land
The entire ocean is ablaze!
The cracking and snapping of burning teak!

Splinterspume in the faces of sailors
Glance off plastic goggles
The goggles of the sailors
And the aluminum splintersuits

Liron in the iron sea
Riveted breakers, white wire whitecaps
Steel flying fish on welded posts,
Robot eels, whales of gears
Clatter and crash in the scaffolded depths
Harpoon em with andirons!
Harpoon em for oil and for their spare parts

Now it's burning, the sea,
Burning plasma, surging and ebbing,
And all the fish are salamanders
The sun has set the sea on fire,
Up it booms molten from the sea's eastern cannons,
A molten bomb, lighting the sky as it goes,
Pulling it blue and struggling into the burning depths,
in long flat clouds of orange steam,
deep into the deep green depths
where the deep green fusion begins.
