East of Eden
Gum Arabic / Confucius
Slobbering in mud and rubies
the idol Anubis dreams in the sea and the rain
of a bracelet, bearing four talismen
lost on African plains
Flickering in slow light movements
of her musicians
Eve pivots in the sun
blues and pink peal through saffire dust
strike up for the thin trapeze girl

"Caines has a terse, succinct tone, not given to overblown histrionics but content, instead, to discover languid,laconic melodies that smoulder with a kind of rueful wisdom."
