Die Lebensstufen — The Stages of Life — Caspar David Friedrich (1774–1840) — public domain
unfurl and hoist your tattered sails
steer the barnacled hull into the gales
for one last voyage
on the last of seven seas
Ultima Thule is calling
lighten your load
empty your holds
toss your hoarded treasure
and sail naked into her port
where status has no meaning
and the harbour master takes no coin
Ultima Thule is calling
and the ones that sailed before
are waiting
