Such beauty as must burgeon from Nerites' shell and bone
Being, self nacreous Aphrodite, a never necrotic throne
Pearl! Pity this guileless Soul's God's wily daughter
Fend off Pain as the paideia Pan has taught her.
But come to me, if ever, away from me- far & beyond
Of aggravating cries you grow gravitationally fond.
Come, leaving your palace paternal
& Golden car's guilty circuit eternal
Twisting like Beauty's fowls as but owls trysting
All that is winged or Light's cage resisting
Night's feathered enfranchisement
Minerva as Spite's Advisement
For too fair in promise of a Love freer and gayer
I am mocked by my own answered prayer
Come now and take my first Love's wings
Assist Eros as me or see what she brings.
Solve what to me is dark- but not by compulsion
Bright! Ah e'er brighter, thou in emulsion!
