snake island lighthouse




Frumet of the stone shipwrecks, the 

patron saint of children's games


where you have stood, i am standing now


upon this rivers relentless washing,

here by this bloody rubble, 

where some lost eagle prey,

where on death's doorway kneel 

the abandoned ones,

where these crystal canyons are crying,

where before the bloom of its hyacinths

come the shadows,


there are no shadows here

just the glittering sunlight over her infinite glory.


Frumet the dancing one, the wise, 

for you the wild oak sighs.

the queen of silver pomegranates, of ivy leaves,

of honest thieves


where you have been, i have never been before.



  (august 19)
