On the volcanic Azorean islands,

locals make tiny flowers and nativity scenes

out of scales of fish,

their layered rings reveal their age.

Each canvas, a scale, a scalloped rock

unveils light years of porousness

until blue beads form a rosary.

Black basalt accepts drafts,

flutings, lineations, missing

cavities, strata, which

in my language means

loss.
