Recalling Time's full arabesque
As palls
Of light abate the breath,
Altering,
And rigid law foretells
A world
Stillborn in silvered caul
And day
And night dissemble
Retracing
Arctic step and all of life resembles
Loss,
But for the filigree flocked
Field
Blossoming like some enchanted
Sea
Where leaping siren danced and
Jade
Glass gives birth to sun-sung
Dynasty
