May 24th

Last night I saw the Island of Dreams,
at first immersed in a green haze,
then, as it moved toward me, releasing
a vision of a black beach, glowing wild blue
like the phosphorescent squid rising
in Toyama Bay. It is the time, this night
in May, lunar time, to chant
the Black Madonna, the gypsy
Sarah rises from the deepest
caves of memory with her hands
full of new creation.

    If I only knew I would
    to the Black Madonna, chant
