Translation
Bilingual
It probably won't surprise you to learn
That the pages found littering this island
After David Brownleys death
The same pages that were piled in
Teetering stacks in the lighthouse he kept
Were covered in stories
Fairytales according to the commissions records
Most pages had a main story
And then second, third, and fourth ones
Written in the margins
With further stories still squeezed in-between the lines
Filling every space, every gap
With writing, too small to be readable
Until the pages in some cases were blue and black
From edge to edge
None were transcribed, none were kept
The younger brother
Down by the bank of the river flowing out of the forest
Screamed in fear
The other two brothers ran over
To see what had startled him and found
Lolling in the scum
A decomposing rams head
Waterlogged, cloudy eyed, almost all skull
But for a few patches of matted fur
A shrivelled raisin like tongue
And dried browning gums still clinging to yellow teeth
The older brother smirked
And went to grab the skull by its one remaining horn
To taunt his younger brothers with it
But before he could
The skull did what no skull ever should
It cleared its throat
