Montefiore
Beneath a copper moon
letterings of a multitude
shadowed scripts
cast pronunciation
across the face of staved land
Mosaic reflections reveal
alphabet of light
spelling its unreadable words
forgotten language
upon the surface of the water
Dawn – vaporish as it clings
last syllables of night
consonant reminder
whispering silent vowels
In the beginning was the word
