rose dies to words, the stem
rises to Virginia's height
this lyre with no hide, before or
behind, will meet every delight


so I read in "The Virginia Triggers"
and I imagined, lacking a picture,
a lyre was a sceptre


there, in my picture, bloom, as nyctohylophobes
grow savage when afar of night, tides of pursuit


here, with this bloom, lacking
the lyre's delight,
many roses lie awake
weeping every melodies


and I imagined, lacking a picture,
weeping was a frolic, and
Virginia, the lady of drops,
was fond of their shine
