Galatea of the Spheres
The muse,
saint of gentle lust,
casts dreamy eyes
onto the concrete
"Be still,"
he says, determined
to capture every
fleeting thought,
every wistful hope
every torrential dream
She fragments,
gracefully, perfectly
magnified, but
carefully
Oil teardrops,
Preserve a somber love
