Seaside Row
by
Sekhem Psikor Strecker
By the cobbled way at the seaside row
Where the ivy climbs in the salt wind-blow
And the midnight moon with the stars ascend
As the waves crash down on the sand depend
Lives the souls of the drowned and the tortured sea
The tumult of the waves and the grotto key
Deep - the ocean - dark and cold as ice
Drifting skeletal forms and the chance of dice
Oh many my knee grazed by seaside salt
Like the inner shell filled with pearly guilt
Rocking gently for all eternity's sake
Fall asleep by the row of the seaside snake
As the waves crash down on the sand unspent
May the tortured souls with their loss repent
For there's never time - wrapped in silken bow
For the lives of the salt
Snakes
And the seaside row
