Brothersank
Rickety shipsink,
All broken brotherhoods are
Wreckage and driftwood.
Half a prayer on varnished beads,
The rest lost to seasalt.
Like that killerbee, and usurper prince prior,
The pugilist found his way to the waters;
Seatombed with a scripture on bonds,
And a depthswallowed army of marble.
