My Love Looks Too Far into Me

Her eyes are the lighthouse of the Pharos,

Alexandrian, bronze-mirrored fire flung round

The gloaming coastal sorrow like sand-glittered spears.

 

Her praying mantis limbs of light,

Sever-poised for needlepoint strike

At the jeweled glint of wings in dim, rare-seen limits,

Now one with her rasping sea of scarab beetle husks.
