milly befriended a stranded star
whose rays five languid fingers were; and molly was chased by a horrible thing
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles: and may came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large as alone for whatever we lose (like a you or a me)
it's always ourselves we find in the sea
