Perhaps Galileo was seduced
By vespered diamonds flung
Above the vermilion gloaming
One Mesmerist, musing, strung
To tempt terrestrial chains…
Delirious with rumors of stars
Nightswept in sylphlike dances
I wade into the endless moon
Where sibyls cast their glances
rocking unborn in her sea
fingers of night peel film after film
of pale corporeal scarf
stripped to tremored soul
nudely gold stars glisten
and curve to her obsidian folds
loosed in the gauze
of her seduction
these milky tendriled galaxies
weep stark froth against skin
of sky thighed ebon beauty
as she permits the comets
to lick their blue lapped flames
trailing dust across her heavens
making restless vapors
of men's celestial dreams
I sip her dark mystery
evoking notes I never knew
the glide of spectral strings
in sway of twilight mirrors
riding aural ecstasies
to ancient omsong thrum
divine truths suckled
from the hem of onyx lip
she tosses the curtain of her hair
and gathered labyrinths of astral lace
to lean me back on silken gravity
until she kisses morning shoulders
dappling eyes with sugared dew
and the sighs of parted horizon
pour their slow syrup
for slow melt on tongues
of pinking dawn
