-THING
  in that September off
  Isle aux Morts
  the desultory sea
  grew more so through the night
  and made one think of
  tawny ports,
  as aspen tremblin'
  in tomorrow's thorough light
 and of Tallulah Bankhead
  and Canada Lee
-THING
  somewhere far-off, peaceful, sleeping
  and done with acting
 past the Dire Wolf's lair
  on a Newfoundland's paws
-THING
  close to nowhere
  and halfway across
 but never  more 'here'
 expanse  getting broader
 though bigger  boats been
done  by less water
 tho better  boats been done  by this water
  -THING
 tho better boats been done by less water
-THING
  in that september off
  Isle aux Morts
  colourable seas
  grew more to through the night
 And made one think of
  yawnin' shores
-THING
  Gambier-bleached
  in tomorrow's thorough light
 and the Tallulah Bankhead
  and Canada Lee
-THING
  somewhere far-off, peaceful, sleeping
  they learned to love sleep
 at the Dire Wolf's crest
 the Newfoundland paused
 desolate's best
 was gotten across
 we were never more 'here'
 expanse getting broader
 when better boats been
 done by this water
-THING)
 at the Dire Wolf's best
 the Newfoundland paused
 so desperate as
 to be a lost cause
 you were never more hear
 expanse getting broader
 when better boats been
 done by this water
 where bigger boats been done by less water
 and betting boats been done by this water
 when bigger boats been done by less water
 and better boats been done by this water
