shipwright crossing
Virgil

tunnel, spiral, matrix, web

a bright plate white-rimmed with
 1
midsun wore
 2
its skull garland of isles.
 3
 
 
gulls round, are cherubs with
 4
strung prayer flags high within
 5
the snake of wind and crest.
 6
 
 
ocean a mere mirror;
 7
such a perfect colour
 8
 
 
lays down against bodies
 9
of hemlock and swordfern.
