they came from the hole in the sea
spiral tails break through foamy waves
they came to rejuvenate our ways
and they came to take me
distant spheres of golden light
dart silently above the beach
while we watch from the swallowed breach
and look forth the coming night
fireflies at flight
the sea is our sky and our sea is of stone
each unrelenting pull and shake
drags me into deeper lakes
far below the sea of stone
far away from my home
into the hole in the sea
