bright-eyes

is this light so bright, for Me
or do you make pink boyish cheeks of all?
hail from miles and ages

can you stand to be Psyche so adored,
you siren, you pirate, you gold treasure?
can you be held, had without dimming?

is this Desire creeping, that glimmering hook, 
quieter and dark once set to stomach
can I drag you down 
and explore your depths? 

are you just her curious daughter?
or are you Venus herself, inexhaustible by depth
and can you resist my light—my dark?

a dance then, and shine every facet of you, 
bright creature, we shall find you out.
