Driftwood Annotated

My forefathers gave me
&nbsp My spirit's shaken flame,
The shape of hands, the beat of heart,
&nbsp The letters of my name.

But it was my lovers,
&nbsp And not my sleeping sires,
Who gave the flame its changeful
&nbsp And iridescent fires;

As the driftwood burning
&nbsp Learned its jewelled blaze
From the sea's blue splendor
&nbsp Of colored nights and days.
