The black sea reflected night lightning
at the edges of the island.
A red horse swung upside down by legs
from sky gallows
as the crescent moon topstoned
a pyramid with Mars and Saturn.
Swimming in the dark I lost myself
in the salt waves
free to be nothing but the stillness drift
like a mothering mercy love.
