The Sea, The Sea - D.H. Lawrence

The sea dissolves so much
and the moon makes away with so much
more than we know --

Once the moon comes down
and the sea gets hold of us
cities dissolve like rock-salt
and the sugar melts out of life
iron washes away like an old blood-stain
gold goes out into a green shadow
money makes even no sediment
and only the heart
glitters in salty triumph
over all it has known, that has gone now
into salty nothingness.
