#1698 - and then the moon's our sun

 


1698

5.237

25.viii.24

and then the moon’s our sun

ekphrastic for Frederic Leighton’s 1884 ‘Cymon and Iphigenia’

 

soul’s up

hound attends

 

after abandon
Bacchic languor

 

the dream deeps of day

 

lost in these folds

oakspread

under laurel, under bay

 

robed round with a table cloth

 

it’s ticklish under

 

none know how far this sea
