Work rating: Medium


listen beloved i dreamed  it appeared that you thought to  escape me and became a great  lily atilt on  insolent  waters    but i was aware of  fragrance and i came riding upon  a horse of porphyry    into the  waters i rode down the red  horse shrieking    from splintering  foam caught you clutched you upon my  mouth listen beloved  i dreamed    in my dream you had  desire to thwart me and became  a little bird and hid  in a tree of tall marble  from a great way i distinguished  singing and i came  riding upon a scarlet sunset  trampling the night    easily  from the shocked impossible  tower i caught  you strained you  broke you upon my blood listen  beloved i dreamed  i thought you would have deceived  me and became a star in the kingdom  of heaven  through day and space i saw you close  your eyes    and i came riding  upon a thousand crimson years arched with agony  i reined them in tottering before  the throne and as  they shied at the automaton moon from  the transplendant hand of sombre god  i picked you as an apple is picked by the little peasants for their girls
