Potwalloper (Sea Monk after Guillaume du Bartas) 10/9
The water is parting
And the bald head is rising up
The seas have – as well as skies – Sun Moon and Stars
Not enough for the mytred Bishop
He comes ashore
Water spread like a book – peeling open for him
He spreads his cloak and the Milky Way falls to the sand
Spills like a jellyfish
Shapes itself into a sand dollar – spins gently
The water is parting
And the bald head is rising up
The seas have – as well as skies – Sun Moon and Stars
Not enough for the mytred Bishop
He comes ashore
Water spread like a book – peeling open for him
He spreads his cloak and the Milky Way falls to the sand
Spills like a jellyfish
Shapes itself into a sand dollar – spins gently
