The bell in the tower visible from here tolls in threes Seemingly at random Or at least to a doctrine unknown to me Blues and maroons envelop the stone edifices as ivy growing angrily The lone creator god took another sacrifice today The fourteen-year old's craft was found overturned on the beachside, empty There was no storm It has demanded much since coming as it did through sword and violence to this island Perhaps its best I stay away from the town center and deal only With the women who make their weekly rounds up here They are always so weary from the journey I give them more than a fair price for their wares I saw the fisher boy alight out this morning, same as any other He was the only male left of his clan There was nothing untold or untoward in his practiced departure The oldest of my weekly goods merchants wants me to choose a bride from her helpers Has been suggesting it heavy-handed for months now Says this place is too big for one, and that I am not yet close to being past my prime She is correct, and almost all of the faces that accompany her are beauty incarnate Truly gifts of the old gods None shy away from my gaze It has been years since my Esme was called to the sea Perhaps that's why I stay so far up here Tending to the lights and the paths of the old prosperous ones Its where they tell me I'm needed The crawling colors abreast the stonemasonry are growing brighter And more ardent in their fingered graspings I have noticed this before There is a clash coming on the winds These walls are strong and the passage here narrow I think the next time I see the merchantwoman I will tell her that she possesses a keen eye and heart She keeps her jewelry and tattoos hidden elsewhere But here they are welcomed by the walls and the one who tends them Perhaps she would not scoff if I told her That she was the one who hath captured my youthful desire Alight, my heart, for I am wed once more To Iris, director of fineries and commerce on this isle Laughter of her daughters reports off the stone floors below She has grown rounder since taking a supervisory role in the business Choosing to stay with me up here near the guiding lights The decorations of our past history with the skies and earthen Enchanted bared for them to spy It brings such a new glow to her countenance to do so openly Esme always regaled me with smiling titterings that she had chosen well And Iris does the same In even more expansive dialogue Despite the grey in my beard I am a devout worshipper of all things goddess And it goes not unappreciated Together we record the colors and their probable prophecies They will be necessary for the younger ones soon No doubt
