Down in the darkest shadows of the ocean

The Kelpie murmurs a deep sigh
Slittering and awaiting its next victim

Fangs dripping with decadent jealousy

Faint water sloshing around dry scales
Flung across damp dirt
Clinging onto the frightened Earth
Pale reflection of those twilight grins

The Kelpie gnashes its teeth
Revealing delicate milky pearls
Standing in solidarity with a sea of ebony
Drifting off into the distance …

Scotties scream Bloody Murder!
Dripping throughout the thick night
All the while
A monster calls

Poor Kepie salts dry soil with his tears
Soiled rain tumbles down his back
Sinking loose ships
Entanglement of silken sailors

For haunted dreams break fullen hearts
And broken parts mend forgotten dreams
Dear old Kelpie trudged onwards
Dear old Kelpie trudged onwards
