1. From his saliva, an aged wine sips us—

    its bouquet mocks ambergris.

  2. And we behold a soft, yielding dune; above it,

    a supple stem beneath a shining moon.

  3. A lock of his hair comes streaming down—

    behold the serpent coming to the pool.

  4. Shyly, he casts a furtive sidelong glance

    and murmurs like a guileless fawn.
