Song of the Space Whale (and its Petits Poissons)

on
the sea
daughters, sons, and me
sing soft-
ly.
of where I was born: distant shores,
other worlds,
the journey that brought me here,
dark,
alone.

when
it's time,
when migration calls,
don't fall.
you'll
fly and though far away -
I can't go -
I'll point the way from here.
'need
not fear.

go...
