Swing Lo Magellan |
| Last night all my attention |
| Squinting westward at the sunset |
| With a map and a compass |
| When a man reached up, said something |
| There, against the sky, a ball of light |
| Too invisible to give itself to the naked eye |
| On the shore, people yelling |
| In their eyes a great reflection |
| In the griddle where they’re positioned |
| Unconcerned with intuition |
| There could never be not a sympathy |
| From that wilderness |
| So let it be arrested |
| Swing low, oh Magellan |
| 9 by 6 or 8 by 7 |
| Post a sentinel at the border |
| Of what you attempt, what you ignore |
| I saw my friend in a pool of light |
| All drowned in doubt and shame |
| And I knew that I had lost my sight |
