In love’s garden
the earthly passage
that lovers seek.
Mind falls
to heart’s mood,
enthralled to
the arrogance
of a world’s riches.
Nature’s receptive grotto
bound to beauty’s
humid spell,
that Actaeon might see
and live, unchanged.
And Danae,
in her camera oscura,
copulating with a god,
his seed a shower
of gold.
