Can be only

                           the Abyss

                                                                            raging whitened

                                                                                            stalled

                                                                                                       beneath the desperately

          sloping incline

1. of its own wing
2. through an advance
3. falling back from ill to take flight

                                                                                                           and

                                                                                                                                                                          veiling the gushers

                                                                                                                                                                          restraining the

                                                                                                                              surges

                                                                gathered far within

                                                       the shadows buried deep

                                                          by that alternative sail

                                                                                             almost matching

                                                                                                                                            Its yawning depth

                                                                                                                                            to the wingspan like a hull

                                                                                                                                                                                       of a vessel
