We threw our words overboard,
only to find that they’d become anchors,
and that our ship wouldn’t move;
then they became fish: we cast a great net:
around it they swam, and through;
they leap’d to the heavens,
were shimmering stars in the blue;
then one by one they fell;
they’re falling still;
and each that lands is true.
