With her infinite breath
It’s her soul on my whiskers
Amplified by the sea
Ride the bow in the night
She’s cold like crystals
But I am a mouse
This means nothing to me
She’s always her best
Wrapped around me a blanket
The flames of lights on her crown
Guide the longboat’s journey
I am small and invisible
As I roam the grain
Under the feet of the men
Who pay me no heed
I am a mouse on the sea
Disappearing and free
Each night on the deck
The wind I will be
