Delicate sea-angels
line the coastal sands with
stones of lapis lazuli, far from
the shores of Myanmar.
           They bathe in the blueness
     of evening light, waiting the
Thunder Moon of summer. As I.
At the Ends of the Earth.
For you.

 


The Romans believed that lapis was a powerful aphrodisiac. In the Middle Ages, the stone was thought to free the soul from error, jealousy, fear, and purge melancholy.
