Messes Of Men by MewithoutYou

I do not exist, but faithfully insist
Sailing in our separate ships
and from each (1)________ caravelle

like the horseshoe crab in its proper seasons sheds its shell
Such distance from our friends
like a scratch across a lens,

Lord, I could never show you anything as beautiful as You
