step work

step work
we fathom down fathoms down
must we sink, yet never drown
to breath the thin watered air
and spy the gorgon that sleeps there
sleep it must in dark see caves
among past divers in murky graves
fearful hearts were frozen stone
who choked to death and sank alone
deeper still must mariners sink
demand air from water when on the brink
of death must rip the monster's flesh
to deliver himself, now born afresh
