A Game of Go

I should go

And now I must

Hello, Captain Spaulding,

And now

I must be going

x

Where I do not know

(I think the

captain

meant to stay)

And I must balance

Coins upon a plate

Upon a stick

Held high

That somehow starts a kind

Of arch

Maybe an energetic

Ley line

That on the other side

Under the same sky

Is a place

To land

x

With only a few more things

Broken
