Another Other

Some stranger 'cross 

The coal-black

Sea, another you for 

Another me, two souls discrete

Who'll never meet, the 

Simple flesh of whom shall never

Greet, nor trade fraternal 

Kisses sweet of 

Love Platonic, or else some  

Other form of union 

Blessèd by 

Those Above.

Let's dream the dance divine, 

Decreed and meet for

Mythic fields Illysian, fresh,

Fecund and flowered.

Hold hard in hands

What spirit, pure, reveals 

To the meat of minds all done 

With shields now seen

As fey and frail, naught but

Fairie glamours, golden gleaming.

And as a last galvanic grasp 

Grab Love's ghost, 

Which now Fortunata

Has

Unsealed….
