A face of gold greets the night, unblinking, timeless eyes brimmed with down of galest wings. Beneath her motherly gaze, a pavane fills the court, Figures two by two by cloth of silken web. Dispersing and immersing footsteps of the fae, glimmering ingot gates spread their arms out wide to rejoice the coming of the twilight. Shadowed forms stirring in the brush wish to coalesce the revelry. And as the music dwindles into reticence, the sighing ******* of lovers entangled and mother suckling babe, that which goes unseen by fools kisses the brows of those who look.
written to Maurice Ravel's Symphony "Pavane of a Dead Princess"
