Etchings of the Caribbean Cross

      Archaeologists after lunch
      Are picking through the litter
      Beside tin shacks
      Flashing under dark palms.
5     A white shard emerges
      From the lifted dust.
      Reversing its Greek intent,
      The thick lines
      Show fluttering women
10    Melodious beneath
      A darkened moon, lemur-eyed.
      A white shard emerges
      From the lifted dust.
