Stand apart from one another -
Black wood posts
Mesmerised by the sea god.
Mesmerised by the sea god.
One nun with human failings
And weary legs
Sinks to the sand
And sits like a child,
Sinks to the sand
And sits like a child.
A golden stripe appears
On the western horizon -
A golden stripe appears:
A signal from the sea god
That he understands tiredness.
One staunch sister
Stays standing.
One staunch sister
Stays standing
And the sun sets.
And the sun
Sets.
