stand up poseidon

[doesntmatter]

and there was the gate that was bigger than i
there were the waves
our city had sight

for the move had all the descenders
asking about the rising water


seas shred the two

kings gone too far south




weeks at sea


stand up poseidon, the skies are fire

defy book dust and lift up here.

i hope you'll find here, the signs are signs

stand up poseidon, the skies are fire

we can't be silent, the skies fire.


...and they carried her off tonight.

 

[(Wordy)]

Poseidon is one of my favourite Greek gods, and I love the way you've treated him here.

It's kind of disjointed, but I tend to like a bit of disjointedness. And in any case, I think giant leaps make sense when you're dealing with deities.

These lines are incredible - visionary, incantatory:

stand up poseidon, the skies are fire

defy book dust and lift up here.
