Lateen

We sailed away on a winter's day With fate as malleable as clay But ships are fallible, I say And the nautical, like all things, fades And I can recall our caravel A little wicker beetle shell With four fine masts and lateen sails Its bearings on Cair Paravel. --Bridges and Balloons, Joanna Newsom
