Sea Chanty



My mother hates the sea 

my sea especially 

I warned her not to

it was all I could do

Two years later 

the sea ate her

Upon the shore, I found a strange

yet beautiful food

I asked the sea if I could eat it 

and the sea said that I could 

Oh, sea, what fish is this

so tender and so sweet?

Thy mother's feet


Gregory Corso
