Vaulting Ambition

From a holy place on the northern coast

of an isle in the centre of a wine dark sea

we unearthed a figurine vaulting over

a bronze Minoan charging bull

moulded in wax then clad in clay

tin from Turkey alloyed with copper

transported from the Copper Island

we found this image of ambition

leaping not falling on the other

through four thousand earthly years

forebear of Spain's recortador

Picasso's bull and the Minotaur.
