Of the Image, of the Locks that Held the World And Its Time Suddenly and Utterly at Standstill

 


Not that often with that beauty and such grace

A simple hairdo does fall and flow and frame

So well a radiance and aura of a thinking face,

Running in two whirling rivulets down the chest


Where, suddenly, these waterfalls she combed

Seemed to find a rest, even if just gently vexed,

By being held at standstill only by the angled tips,

Becoming on the way a new awe and wonderment


Of two paths there and back again or two columns 

Egyptian used to force apart or reconnect—for those

Who will be judged and blessed—Heaven and Earth,


All what’s high with what’s below in one felicific act

When breathless turns even an Isidian sculpted bust

In the face of her neophyte’s yielding, buckling knees.
