Walking the Hedge

Sailing down the river Euphrates
A black cat purrs in lap
In a little long boat
Made of hide and skin

Hanging from the world tree
The view is very different
Upside down and one eyed
Ravens watch from the branches

Standing on a rickety raft
Crossing a river named Styx
Two copper coins
And a dog cookie in hand

Walking along a crooked path
Thorny hedge to border it
A stag steps out into the lane
Leads to a different way

Swimming lazily through
A parted Red Sea
Desert sand burning hot
In almost every crevice
