Huge chunks of ice break off from the Arctic floes;

and as bergs, drift southward (so the journey goes):

various shapes like great cubes, and one that looks rather manic,

headed toward an April meeting with RMS Titanic.

Author's Notes/Comments:

This quatrain was inspired by John Dewey's translation of Tyutchev's poem, "See On The Trackless River."
