Salomé

Jon Nakapalau

silver flower in your hair,

has your unrequited love
been taken and shadowed -

a white rose, past redemption of the soul,
becoming chastely cold -

veil falling - even as Narraboth
sacrifices himself to you

on moon drenched altar
adorned with green flowers,

still fragrant from your kiss.
