Two nuns on the sea shore

Stand apart from one another –

Black wood posts

Mesmerised by the sea god

Mesmerised by the sea god

One nun with human failings

And weary legs

Sinks to the sand

And sits like a child

Sinks to the sand

And sits like a child

A golden stripe appears

On the western horizon –

A golden stripe appears:

A signal from the sea god

That he understands tiredness

One staunch sister

Stays standing

One staunch sister

Stays standing

And the sun sets

And the sun

Sets
