The Visit

My eyes went up

It was sunrise

The sky turned black

It was noon

A ship of the silverest

Metal

Shadowed out

All of the moon

A shape

That was golden and crimson

Extend a claw

To my frame

I sunk in the sand

Like an infant

I screamed

But my tongue was lame

My heart on a platter

They'd stolen

My eyes

Were all fiery flame

A sound like sweet dove

I did stutter

And then the ship

Swum the skies again
