Sky-white ships

by

Theo Malekin

Sky-white hoists a purple sail -

where sunset makes an orange shore

on earth's horizon

-casts off from that blessed isle -

the glowing domes, the minarets, the endless changing spires

and climbing stairways of the sun -

casts off from that golden shore

and sails a dark wind into night
