Some distant shore
whereon no Argonaut trod,
s i l h o u e t t e d
the rotting hulk,
broken-boned on the beach
bleached by Ages benign indifference,
discarded amongst vicissitudes of time
a memento of heroes
long since forgotten,
their wraith’s lament
b e w a i l i n g
the whaling ship,
w r e c k e d
ancient timbers
cursed by the inscription
” A h a b “
An excellent ‘capture’ of ‘a reading’ of a literary, allegorical masterpiece.
