I dreamed of a sawdust chandelier
whose crystals were drops of driftwood dredged
from all the world’s shipwrecks…

33 by MacGillivray I dreamed of a sawdust chandelier whose crystals were drops of driftwood dredged from all the world’s shipwrecks: god’s figurehead, and it swung, as I dreamt, ever closer to my fear, softly releasing sweet incense into the clear, black night air, as that great barge carries the dead, but instead of my death, it passaged my dread and the water it ploughed comprised of one tear. Great smouldering barque, your figurehead sings into the dark, the death song of queens, of kings, over sea birds that circle like faint rings of smoke, your floating lamp burns, as a lighthouse brings death to itself: you are moth and flame both – so lamp lights my dread of shade, performs two killings.
