The ablest navigators

poetry, philosophy, found photos, vintage images, music, the human condition and grace. Yep - that about covers it.

…Mysticis umbraculis


She slept: her finger trembled, amethyst-less
And naked, under her nightdress:
After a deep sigh, ceased, cambric raised to her waist.

And her belly seemed of snow on which might rest,
If a ray of light re-gilded the forest,
A bright goldfinch’s mossy nest.
(Mallarme)
