British Virgin Islands: Richard Georges

Poetry Postcards

Available for over a year

VIRGINS By RICHARD GEORGES Between the lines of my notebook I inscribe in bleeding black ink. My marks cut the blue horizon like great sails bending, spattering the vista with bleached splendor, splitting the sky into uneven portions. They point at the blooming clouds that hang like the defiant ghosts of slaves. The cartographer's pen could not chart these depths more exactly.
