...I would live on this little island,
flat from North to South
and from West to East.
It bears only an orchard
of apples and a statue
of nymphs of the Hesperides --
perhaps a relief
carved in a grotto
near a garden-bound hut.
Butterflies, small and yellow
will rise up from knee-high grass
and flutter above the white-capped sea.
