Where witches went mad more than once and
Until this day
In
dreams at least
The lighthouse at Lost Christabel
Squat and hugely tilts
Upon the strand
where Grandad's house was built
And having stood the test of time
The starry gale the bloody
tide
Grandad's house though gaped with hooks
And filled with books
Could stand no more
until
A certain prophecy
Once read - now stood
Before the world fulfilled
Now
of these books in Grandad's keep
Some of them were new but mostly they were old
And the
oldest was a scroll
A prophecy that read
When the riddle begins
The story will
end
August the First 1892
And in the guise of destiny
Grandad quit
Cornwall
";I'm a captain of a ship
My ship is charmed, and called
Plutonia.";
Stories on land, storms at sea
'Tween 1892 and '93
When Grandad sailed
for Mexico
Ships charmed and ordinary
Sailed the glidepath to the sun
And when the
sun proved false
As it always does
Some of them would be lost
And some would sail back
home
It was no star
But a magna of illusion
I mean by that
The mirror found
In
the chamber of jade grown like a seed
Deep within the ground
The mirror found
By one
man
So on and off again
He sailed the Europe's rim
On and off, off and on
Until his
time had come
Through tears and smiles
The last domain
The rods of broken
crystal
On and off, and off again
Until his time had come
Late to the story that had
been
But early to the riddle not yet begun
August the First 1893
The charmed ship
Plutonia
Sailed like a ray into Cornwall
And none too | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
