On a Rock of Flails




The cormorants are oil slick standing
on a rock of flails, a witch's exile.

Beseech, forever perhaps, the frozen ocean, twinned sky
with outstretched wings;
mimic, why not, the eagle like a famine victim;

as widows gather where a church used to be,
keeping watch for their salvation.
