Leviathan Knight
That's me, fighting every minute of every hour of dusk til dawn,
I am serious in living magnificently,
In the darkness, significantly
Finding life in each long, hard, stretched second,
Of time. Blind to tiredness.
Blind to lethargy.
Blind to everybody who says living like this
Is unnecessary.
You think I might die young?
You think you might live longer?
You think if you get 10 hours sleep,
every night, you'd be stronger,
Wiser, brighter?
I don't.
I live the Big Night, the Blue Whale Night,
The Leviathan Night,
Filled with an ocean of words,
Waves of unfinished verse,
Flow and ebb around me,
And all I want to do,
Is go fishing, with a small, ropey, old net,
Wait, patiently, try to catch a sprat,
Maybe a sardine,
Maybe a mean tuna someday,
How about that? Or possibly,
Something a lot bigger.
What then? A dolphin?
Nope, bigger still, a Leviathan.
Something that will allow me to finally
Get some sleep, live my dreams,
End my endless long nights,
Retire from this life,
The life of the
Leviathan Knight.
