_His Brow Had Plato’s…_

His brow had Plato’s gloom
 Giving off tidal darkness. She was once his Hesperides.
She bore his dreams on a Stretcher to the burning Ghat with due tenderness. She 
had a forked tongue which Like lightning stabbed the dark. When she said: “Goodbye”
to Him, too rooted poppies In his blood trembled, but Her eyes had the diamond’s
glint. She was a blood-clot moving In his brain and paralyzing His grief.
