The woodworm carves
its narrow path
among the wood
And Noah plays
his own ship's grace
along with her.
And simply for history's sake
I bring this bit to you
about the beast that did not join
the ark's profound outbreak
into the open sea.
Because, look, it's like this:
who would have brought a woodworm
on board of this huge wooden ship?
Not, I can tell, a bearded man
with hands bound by a devine grip
from high above.
Thus, tiny little holes still linger
in every corner, unexpected,
and once you've spotted their existence
once they're detected -
Help us God!
Or, and this little bit may shock you,
not.
