To Share the Light of the Northern Crown
On the same night they both dreamed the same dream of gloaming wind over water
Nine cloaked priestesses circling like crows around a fire in the long shadow of a standing stone
Long hairs swaying in the wind and arms raised up to the pin between the worlds
Evening Star
At the same time they both saw, in a darkness alight with candles and fire, the same shape in a mirror
From the vessel, through gloaming mists fading away, glimmered as a nymphlike light the island
From the island was not hidden, by showers whose every drop was an enrapturing mirror, the vessel
A white sail
