It takes a rain,
It takes a hard rain,
To flood the Earth again,

To swallow every rope and tree,
Devour every spot round me,

Here I'm sitting in the ocean bottom,
Working on the first page of my novel,
Take your leave of me,

Every motion,
Every sound,
Invades my notice now,
Every meaning stands apparent,
Every thought is green transparent,

A prison without walls,
This is all an artist knows,

Here I'm sitting in the ocean bottom,
Working on the first page of my novel,
Take your leave of me,

Fish they enter,
Fish they leave,
Take your ring with eyes off me,
Like an anchor sinks my skeleton,
In eternal contrapposto stance,
While their mouths tear at me,
Like a thousand fingered hands.

Here I'm sitting in the ocean bottom,
Working on the first page of my novel,
Take your leave of me.
