And stepped across the wall,
We’ve looked for hearts of gold
And joined the band on the run,
The road we walk is rocky and narrow
As we step towards the gate,
And we sing songs...

“And upon the open ocean
Far from land in roving sail-ships

Of the sharks and rays and tuna

Muscles locked in agony
Every ligament burning 
Pain flooding nerve endings
Labor
Heavy panting of breath
Heart pumping trying to keep up

Said the seeker to the stealer

O hear I chant clinging to a sullen northern shore,
tempestuous serene rocky beach that you so adore,

A dusty old moon, 
Like a shaved rock 
And bricks bashed together
And shale that was as 
Broken peanut butter brittle. 
But not little--as some were
The size of or half a man--but 
Shrewd and congruent. ...
