Bronze;
A pallet of glass
and sunset wine
raw, pungent and feline
Antimony angling each eye,
kohl thickening their veil.
Gold;
wringing neck,
lifting each breast,
curving each hip,
entrapping wrists,
tightening around an upper arm
just below the insertion of the shoulder,
and constricting a flowing thigh
just above the knee.
Water;
Bones supple as snakes
following the river
to fertile lands
hidden between
modest flax.
She is my Queen.
