The night is folly without the moon	A
trees blank space against a frontal sky	B
where lattice work from a bled fish reveals	C
skeletal markings will not administer	D
the red jack of hearts to a mistress sea	E
	-
Most fickle the ways of a cockroach	F
I don't recommend them to offerings	G
of white linen cold squares atop	H
a stone diamonded floor	I
	-
Palaver shacks drone in ghostly light	J
communicating some message about eel runs	K
up the black river the equivalent brush	L
of tombstones against dark nightsoil	M
	-
Tiny bars open as cubicles	N
proverbial flashes of the coming evening	O
haciendas to count every blessing	O
	-
The road to such places	P
snarls a dusty pleasure	D
and will heat thin blood	Q
to boil in the daylight hours	R
	-
II	-
	-
Sweat corrodes the cork's emplacement	S
about green bottlenecks	T
its azure breath tossing back	U
pools of sparse liquid	Q
	-
I picture ships placed within such bottles	N
as bannisters along corrugated highways	V
seawater rusting from within the steamfitters's	V
tonsorial edge	W
	-
Haze thickens as sails blur to an artist's brush	L
then squiggles in the oilpaint of memory	E
her sides fashioning red wounds as pigment	S
surfacing from robotical crustaceans	V
lancing the bottom of a deeper crevice	V
	-
III	-
	-
My steps clank to the gaoler's key	E
to become within handmaidens to thorned plants	V
acting as fuselage along the building's exterior	D
Afar a white seagull sits as a bespectacled tourist	X
gracing a buoy like a madras shirt	Y
	-
Early stars in an afternoon sky	B
are expansive in Chateau Lafitte finery	E
the Rothschilds of the universe playing	O
a cosmic baccarat	Z
	-
	-
A girl in a brandy snifter of a dress	V
dark sensual runs through tomes of my mind	A2
	-
It's a hall of mirrors there	B2
the radiating glass of the sea	E
twilight splendour in tall grass	V
the hands of thick mahogany chairs	V
grimacing against perspiring walls	V
	-
I sponge water like a good midshipman	C2
off the brow of a leaking vessel	M
Nowhere are there signs of more than	D2
partial seepage though smoke in the	E2
back corridors exists from the fiery aguandine	D2
	-
IV	-
	-
Green palms unfurl as flags	V
to the accordian of my eyes	V
blinking back the strong belt of sunlight	J
that precisely floods the room	F2
	-
Sailors jostle this crowd of memories	V
some surly lipped with broad tattoes	V
	-
A naked mermaid presses her thighs 'gainst	J
memory door then winks as the	E2
stellar crust of oblivion takes me	E
	-
	-
	-
In sleep waterfront toughs are transformed	J
to storeowners that smile exchange pleasantries in	D2
Saba	E2
French gendarmes embrace on the other side	J
clustering like starfish on the twin breasts of a beach	G2
	-
I devour cups not of riverwater in this cell	M
but the best pink champagne at the captain's	V
reception	D2
	-
With hatfuls of intermittent rest	J
blurred outlines recede into mists	V
thin as General Winter's treasured April snows	V
	-
The bony M of a hatpin	D2
the passkey to better redress of fortune	D2
the turnstills concealed within lavabeds of	-
bladegrass	V
beckon upon the return voyage home	H2
