Opal Hour (after Medbh McGuckian's "Captain Lavender")

Sun-showers. The peak of a crescent moon
hovers over the artists’ chaos
of a sailor’s sea.

Major notes, minor notes, unfold their ties
together. You only half-remembered
your theme song, of a lighter measure.

Visualize my voice. I’ll be your north-
star, your soft-serve heartbeat,
your coral-scented island-mind.
