A Poem by Jadi Falqua


            


            Temporality



            I painted you today

            Alfresco lush with

            Emerald eyes and flaxen hair

            Your sophic smile a

            Mockery of time



            I painted you

            a Seraphim

            Drancing on the courtyard mist

            Your vaguery

            A stroke of Byzantine



            Appliqué corporeal

            Amethyst topaz and pearl

            Diamond skies

            The crowning shade I

            Painted you today
