Iceberg

In the ocean late at night
A shadow loomed on the edge of sight
We turned and fled and got so far
Before we reached the cold water

And then we sank into a sleep
And sank until we reached the deep
There we dreamed for a thousand years
Our snores unheard and movements cleared

And then we got up and swam to shore
Nothing there meant anymore
And in the middle of town on a pedestal
The iceberg we missed was mocking us still.
