Symbolic shadows fill the streets
Oppressive grasp choking life from stead
His whispers spreading like disease
A specter from the sea
The noisome rancor of the gurgling tides
Drowns the murmurs of our gilled father
Blasphemous discourse of the ocean fills our throats
Atop the salt-shrine
Blasphemous emblems balk at the light
Dripping fingers caress the altar
Altar
