Jade headress of the empress
Bending to insistent clouds

Elysian understanding,
My body paining apollonian
Communiqué to brain

Gasping uncertainty that
Boils sanity in its tendrils

Beliefs that fecundize
Decaying leaf affection

Abstraction that ruffles
Feathers that sting
Tender lips pursed
Expectantly

Yea, monsoon!
That thou descendeth
Pray'd the ingrates for to
Desecrate the sanctity of marble

Streaking turquoise that drops
Sweat-beads of manna, the
Underwhelmence of
Manufacturing
Which fails
To satisfy
Or love

Lovers
Encircled
Gladewise in a
Censor of their
Innermost phantasm.
Convolutions of looks
Which evoke the genius
Of a passion, that escaping
all bounds returns meekly to the
Omnirapturous mural swaths painted
On the entrance to a tomb enflamed
