an image of moments past dissolves like foam
the passive
sustainer of images winds of change,
stir the next word beyond recognition
meanings fly off like sparks of time
incandescence cypress ghost’s-in Spanish moss
shadowy gloom of twilight
they long for grace
empty rooms of supplication shuttered
only the gallery of clouds crossing skies
hear bony tongues of idle sighs
under damp weeds of petty deeds, submerge old memories
the blind drawn to sight by feeling
whips crack,
pain follows splendor,
purple-silhouette, callous prick with crimson flow
lady wears her gems hide the echo
some affairs retain in sad confusion.
bound for the moon
scarlet, blue, purple violet, cutting submits in a twilit room.
like slaughtered stars, bite the petals, desire them yawning.
silky faintness of perfume
the pink and silver colors melt,
petal by petal into rose water flow
