Amidst a cold, rough winter
Eleven feet of rain
A hundred days across three oceans
To the Shadowlands again
A Southern Ocean ice field
Deep blue and Davy’s grey
Pack-ice punctures the steel frame
Alarm bells rouse the crew
The bosun sounds the mayday call
Seawater fills the engine room
Ten-thousand nautical miles
White water cat and mouse
The starboard side is down
There’s no toothfish in the logbooks of this trawler so don’t you bother
Three days from Nigeria
She’s swallowed by the sea
With the crew aboard the life rafts
She’s scuttled as they flee
Then a fist pump from the captain
As the trawler disappears
A renegade cheer
