At Lady Certainly's Stockings: Solemnity
Here is mystery---
Beauty vast as a far-flung galaxy
(Beloved, yes, you are that beautiful):
but, Lady, tell me this: how does the whole
of that (not merely some small part
tossed off in selfish penury)
dwell in this damaged, mended heart
that still beats, by God's grace, inside of me;
and still fully proclaims you Muse,
casual and comfortable without your shoes,
both fount and flow of lovers' poetry.

Wow, this is great. Very different than your other poems, but no less beautiufl, as a matter of fact it seems to flow smoothly as if it just fell onto the page. I love it. Rae
