SALOME

 She gives her body over

to the music : like the glass


to the wine, the candle -

wick to the light : nothing


more than a host of the 

song, nothing less than


purely devine, if her hand

brushed against mine,


would either of us shatter

to pieces or would my


palm reflect her shine?

what dimension is she


visiting from? what

unknown earth lent its


queen to this crowd tonight?
