lashed together, as one and wide
mused by but not persuaded by petal and stem
oh, but to see there
below, subtle and captive by the hint, it exists
hungry, not in fact but taunt, denial and desire
oh, but to feel there
does this not suggest? does it not lift and unveil?
only the one, long as near as can be lighted, glisten though it may
at the last will have to do
and none left on which to stand
oh, but to stand there
