Beloved sinews now waning from their noon,
cancel all caresses that are not mine
as we walk the long sweet walking home
caught between Grecian and lunar dusts
shod in our gravid astroshoes
dancing our languid saraband
with love impaled on our glass clad faces
to accept our deaths in our soundless paradises.
The golden fleece will be our shrouds
falling
on us
with all the grace
of Galileo's
feather.
February7-20, 1972
