In the lake next to me lives a plesiosaur

Which I always thought sounded like the name of a gaeilgeoir

That you might meet up in Donegal near Grianan of Aileach, the fort

I’m going to walk to the frigid shore, planning to sail North

No stopping until Hyperborea, and the Aquilonian resorts

Take my hide-shored boat deep into gelid tides, below which armadas lie

All the bones of all who died, ground to glass with no more pride

Than clawless, toothless lions kept inside by some rich guy in Dubai.
