Ghosts Of The Fogg
Twilight Courier

the tides stop
like they do
every year
bringing The Fogg
and the ghosts to appear

haul in your boats
and stay close to shore
harboring grief
as The Fogg draws near

bar the doors shut
staying warm by the fire
and rest easy
in the good company of those whom you hold dear

mad drunken howls
the guards at their post
ringing the bells
for the lonely and lost

send out the candles
on small wooden boards
to light up the coast
as the tides come to a pause

say your prayers that The Fogg doesn’t stay
over our country
on this solemn day
