ashore

in darkness lost and in darkness found
upon the shoals ships run to ground
shattered hearts and smelling salts
enumerating all our faults
brackish waters at our feet
dank and rank and sickly sweet
timbers rotted caked in mud
copper taste of sweat and blood
scattered dreams and broken lives
in such a realm, hell thrives
