The oracle’s eyes

Her every facet stows madding fantasy

She is that mansion languishing into ruinous beauty

What she sanctions on a whim becomes my sacred duty

Her jewel-sister epistle readers seem to reflect, to my eagerness, the best

The worst of me is deflected

She is election manifest, her selection anoints

Austral her voice, she entices the scoundrel to wiser council

A gown fae-wound, decorated with eyes

Birds reach higher notes to signal her arrival

She reduces me to a goat

Her golden votives, about which the humblest mote would gloat

Are imagined unworthy as unsanctioned tabloid photos of boat

Suicides.
