Earning the Cross, Revelation:Columbus Beached, Jamaica, August, 1503 Marie-Ovide Gina Dorcely (bio) Squat bills riddle palms like clear fever shivers on liana's brittle pores, this, the languishment of shoals. Rain comes: palm, frond, palm, trespasses each ligature, snaps spines smooth with the emollients of the bay. Blind, the Icarus breathes through one dead eye, rides—skirts, curls, a wisp—to this cartouche. The dark side of up, this progress, the quickening blade. Xto ferens, "if it please God to rescue me from this place I will go to Rome and other holy places." Marie-Ovide Gina Dorcely Marie-Ovide Gina Dorcely is a poet, translator, and nonfiction prose writer.
