The Dance Hall at Arles, 1888

 

When I entered the room,

you did not make a sound.

You stood, austere and in velvet,

the people, witnesses …

 

Your classic moment of pause

before the night.

 

Baptism

 

Beneath the oak, my eyes married you

and now I sink in your repose.

E’er begotten, a son in my womb

and the smile of fancy, a gentle god.

 

The waters cover me as I am changed

to liken after you a spirit,

your clothing of decoration

and hair of comely chestnut.

 

At first glance, I caught you

and now, you sink beneath the earth.

 

Coronation

 

The pomp and rejoice

with yielded grace,

moment by moment

appearing to you

in arms, at rest.

 

Come thee hither,

to a nation’s bow,

in royal decoration.

 

A soldier’s post

and maiden’s vow,

to find eternal placement.

 

Sapphire and gold,

a likely service, just:

the evergreen seat,

a favor at dusk.
