the progress of a man

across the archipelago of his life

is guided by means of lamps

during the harsh light of day

and doubt concerning the validity of his entrance

into the dark at night

with the moon hidden in his pocket by that great thief the Sun

no lode star shines

even the dawn surprises the journey man

he carries on like a pebble skips across the Dead Sea as if thrown there by the wind

and lands someplace in the heart heretofore never known to have existed

even in the documents held at the Great Library of Alexandria
