Where goes my gaze but to my love
Where? To the poet with cravat and cigar
Where? To the painter who forms one from two
Where goes my gaze but to my love
Who holds the marigolds with swan soft hands
Who? She, the lover with ghost gauzed visage
Who? She, the dancer unveiling her pleasures
Who holds the marigolds with swan soft hands?
Incandescence or shadow-shine
Poppy in water or Lethe-soaked stone
Flower gown or kimono shroud
Did I dance or did I die?
When will the roses wraithed crack ope’ our mirror?
When? 'Soon as diamonds transmute into spears
When? 'Soon as two, not one, we women seen
Then will the roses wraithed crack ope’ our mirror!
