The putrid ark

Where do these words go
two by two
brown and blue
christ knows where
god knows who
in the putrid ark
entered two by two
the dying to herd them in
all dead refuted
lies to tell
of animals too
an empty shell sailing on the swell
all four winds taking her on
a sinking ship, but not to tell
soldiers on a putrid ark
within a captain of fear
a traitor within that wooden sphere
some odd man takes the helm
bloated now with a shallow bark
far from a land laid low, once a pastoral realm
so dark and slow the years
with a dream of going down
.. in an ark
