Flowers

Does she live or is she dead, he said
Silver feet or doves instead, he said
Pallor lights the night for us
Silver virgin moon is cold, she said
Eyes that capture men are gold, she said
Beauty brings the things she does
Black his eyes as caves with beasts, she said
Eyes that drew her from the feast, he said
Hearing what he had to say
First his skin and then his hair, she saw
Outside in delicious air, he saw
Blood forecasting, come the day

Naked the feet are
"Like little white flowers that dance on trees"
Wonderful until
The dancer reveals what the cost will be

There were others' eyes, her mother saw
Moons in other skies, her mother saw
Counting captains' golden shields
Only dance for me I ask, he said
Mirrors only show us masks, he said
Hide from gods what gods conceal
Her reluctance waned, the moon was red
Water soothes the hands that heard the dead
Passing sorrow he confessed
Neither wine or fruits appease, she said
On a charger it will please, she said
Passing sorrow by request

Naked the feet are
"Like little white flowers that dance on trees"
Wonderful until
The dancer reveals what the cost will be

In parentheses she stole the show
Layers counted, happy as they go
Past desire, something done
On his lips the taste of blood, she said
With her lips she wasted love, he said
Past desire and undone

Naked the feet are
"Like little white flowers that dance on trees"
Wonderful until
The dancer reveals what the cost will be
Naked the feet are
"Like little white flowers that dance on trees"
Wonderful until
The dancer reveals what the cost will be
