Indestructible

He sank into the ragged green
Water for the second time
Rising naked with seaweed
And a woman under each arm
A mouthful of broken shells
Standing trembling most unwell
Indestructible

Indestructible
And unsinkable
Floating away
On the brandy brown waves

The waves now rolling down the street
The waves that lap about his feet
Rehearsed salutes for all he meets
Gentlemen arm is arm
Gentleman with ladies
Ladies walking in this city
Where the restless drown

Four Lost Souls…
Know all the creatures in the sea will still be fishing
Pull in their nets and drag us down
In every doorway in the street they have been waiting
Bait the traps in sparkling night
Liquid bodies in pale light…. Indestructible etc

Four Lost Souls
All ablaze as they vanish down the stairway
Into the bowels of the night
Liquid bodies in pale light…..
