Columbus revisited

A thousand seas I have crossed

from the top of the glimmering wave

all the way down

to the self-denigration,

to the slow trickling

of non-identification.


Were it not for the spilled blood,

for these arcane clots

of withered cinnabar,

I would not have to mirror myself,

now,

in the shame of the Cross.


I

am the fast wooden ship.

The canvas stretched inside me,

cargo of mimosa scents stowed,

sailing off

towards the Unknown.


My fearless breath.

My sharpened sword.

My tear for hire.


Who is the Wind?

Who the Horizon?

Who the Path of the stars?


One day?

One night?

Enchantments of awakening?


Flyeth a seagull?
