every second monday in october
christopher of arrogance
born on halloween
arthritic midas hand
lost pawn of spanish queen
a cross across the water
bloodshed for sugar, fame
flagship of terror, colón:
list the dead after his name
arawak precursors plagued
by his greed & occupation
the old earth, wide & round
before his underestimation
the holy spirit danced
before europe dubbed her hips
before the alligator, slaver, navigator
corrupted stars, maps & ships
