In you
I study electricity
moving like notes made visible
a song in the air

and look at your magnet pulse
bending structures all around you
into waisted charm
new frescoed and bulbous skyscrapers
springing up from your fertile frame

run reams of knotted silk
across these sterile counters
mount the god and goddess
on an arc beneath the curving sky

eye's resurrection
hair and breasts and
feet and hands and speech
above the nested gravity
where you and I give way
before the king of things

from alabaster lids
and lacquered heels
to the discus and galactic arm

all charm of eggs in ashes
that the sand can't wash away
and the water heals.
