Poetry


Hesperus and Salome

Jude

I am the twilight
and youŽre dancing in me
draped in starlit jewels
fanning the seaŽs clouds like veils
for your crepuscular consort

Consecrate me goddess
blood-let the burnt dusk from my veins
and offer the white moon
as sacramental bread

Commune with me
IŽll confess everything to you
and all the nocturnal secrets
to lovers who lose their heads
enraptured
in the light of our eternal tango.
