Cassiopeia on the rocks—
How she withers when she walks!
Born by seashore every night
And naught but sand come morning light.
I know she’s not for me still I
Stubbornly craft another poem;
Gold visions dance under my eyes
And leave me stranded, winded, mourning.
Pricked my hand on the spindle, heedless—
Seeking to be witched by a curse or two
I grew roots waiting for the sunrise
And slowly wilt just to forego you.
Cruelly angelic, clear, unbound;
With the sun tailing her like a hound.
