Elder Mountains of the Moon

The elder mountains of the moon

loom 

the bark shrunk

breasted with nipples   clusters

ranges and fissures 

stark

no bark

left

jews ears wobble

gwynjak yw

white bones rattle the sky

hollow-fluted old one – why?

Baglamas - μπαγλαμάς

Dazzling in mottled sunlight, shadowed by moonclouds, moving through misty dockside streets – something under his coat- a miniature lute.  Overcoat-cautious he glances round, pencil-moustache and trilby hat.  Sunshine’s soon shaded as he takes an alley and then another.  Starlight sparkles fresh as he winds through the maze.  Then a door swings open and he steps into the teke…..  Now the Baglamas can chirp like a grasshopper…
