Farewell set pearls coursing through her eyes, pearls already
Farewell set flowing in her eyes pearls that had
drenched—the tear itself carnelian in a bed of gold:
Been drenched—and it is agate in soil of gold.

pearls scattered by the rose’s breeze,
Pearls scattered with the fragrance of roses,
from a sobbing narcissus, its eyelids drowned in tears.
From a narcissus with flooded eyelids, sobbing.
