Post N° 101


Day after day, day after day,we stuck nor breath nor motionas idle as a painted ship upon a painted oceanWater, water everywhere andall the boards did shrinkWater, water everywhere nor any drop to drinkOne after one by the star dogged moon,too quick for groan or sigheach turned his face with a ghastly pangand cursed me with his eyefour times fifty living men(and I heard nor sigh nor groan)with heavy thump, a lifeless lump,they dropped down one by one..And the wedding guest's a sad and wiser manAnd the tale goes on and on and on..
