Last night all my attention Squinting westward at the sunset With a map and a compass When a man reached up, said something There, against the sky, a ball of light Too invisible to give itself to the naked eye On the shore, people yelling In their eyes a great reflection In the griddle where they''re positioned Unconcerned with intuition There could never be no sympathy From that wilderness So let it be arrested Swing low, oh Magellan 9 by 6 or 8 by 7 Post a sentinel at the border Of what you attempt, what you ignore I saw my friend in a pool of light All drowned in doubt and shame And I knew that I had lost my sight
