her like formed pearl
in an ocean of darkness
let us finish the time
diaphanous touch like bleeding light
transparent as velvet underground music
but without touch all is vain
seascapes and sea-gates her eyes to enter
breaths and curtains
and rainbow carnations
of tender martyrdoms
chocolate martinis
and Baileys as balsam
in the Intermezzo cafe
in the mixed voices and the mixed veins
and dimmed colors we lived the oracles
