The Collected Poems
Invocation of the Great Bear
Songs from an Island

Ripe shadows cascade from the walls,
moonlight whitewashes the house, and ashes
from the cold crater drift in the sea breeze.

The coast sleeps in the embrace
of beautiful boys;
your flesh considers mine,
still as fond of me
as when the ships
broke loose from land,
and the crosses
hung with our mortal weight
kept watch from the masts.

Now the gallows are empty,
they search but find us gone.

When you rise again,
When I rise again,
no stone is before the gate,
no boat lies on the sea.

Tomorrow the barrels will roll
towards the Sunday waves.
We will walk the sand
on anointed soles, washing
the grapes and stomping
the harvest to wine,
tomorrow on the beach.

When you rise again,
When I rise again,
the hangman hangs on the gate,
the hammer sinks in the sea.
