Subject: Atlantis

Caribbean Islands
awash

with tender ripples

of time
to squash,
the days of gloom
that has made room,
for all your sins
and toss

For once stood there,
brave Atlantis
and the sky did
so
blanket her;

and at night,
a tender necklace
that did
clang together,
rustle,
and spoke

long elaborate whispers
to evoke, that
you were destined

just
never
to know

Was it
the way in which
you borrowed from time

well kept secrets,

or, how you began
to tread her

as gods
the grounds
you were supposed
to keep

she was weeping,
in the still
of a coming evening

when the dew stood still
near your hills

afraid,
afraid
at last

to kneel in,
soak the green
load, bladed grass
from roots
there peeping,
nourish them still

salt
tears

of weeping

And the sun
a harbor of your ideas, high
that swept
lavish
a blue
the sky

and why,

was she so unaware of you
in all that gold
you did
talk of rustling

as you grunted,
and raised
your cups

smiled crisply
to one another,

saw the treachery
that lay
sunken,

so beneath
the lives

Atlantis, where
did you go
in so few moments know
that only your highest peaks
would eventually swim

This water sees,
dim soft silt
to swim

forbidden now,
as soft clouds
the rim

And now clouds the eyes
as you sought

whereabouts,

of,
the dismal
secrets,

trades, that nature thought best
to keep buried
for her,
unwanted
reasons

As you unaware
the tagged price
for such,

unlaundered knowledge

never seeing,

she lie so,
great,

and so far

and you
destined,

a telling
star
