On the verge
of the unthinkable,
the iceberg turns unsinkable
to the hull. The buoying force
of water reverses pull
the precise moment
were short a few lifeboats
to get home in.
On contact, the accident
doesnt change,
claims Thomas Aquinas;
its a shift in substance
as when sipped wine
becomes sanguine
against the lip,
whats manifest
of the great mass
of which liquid
in the vessel
is just the tip.
