The Atoll

Miguel (cont.)
Face value comforting trust evidence
Such as this life size hoodoo effigy
Which leans at burial bone white coral shrubs
Hes dressed in older mans kit stroke of luck
The driftwood spears pin him a specimen
In upright place through sleeve and trouser cuffs
And out turned pockets then hes buttonholed
Salvatore
Moustache of feathers coconut head could
Be representative of anyone
Especially sombrero shaded thus
Miguel
Si but that doesnt comfort me one jot
Its handiwork a token vengeance plain
Or pinpoint voodoo thats tortuously remote
Controlled by sympathetic magic charms
Its far off acupuncture done by stealth
