CORAL ISLANDS, by LOUIS GINSBERG
First Line: Although with lives, submerged and brief
Last Line: A fertile continent.
Subject(s): Coral
First Line: Although with lives, submerged and brief
Last Line: A fertile continent.
Subject(s): Coral
Although with lives, submerged and brief,
Insects will mount above,
Until they make a coral reef
They are not dreaming of.
So from dark waters of our doubt,
More than we ever meant,
On our dead selves, we may lift out
A fertile continent.
