Night Storm [from A Volcano Island]

      The storm's unushered, prophetic dark, 
      And livid wind welled violet between 
      Scarlet uncertain oaks, blueveined in flashes,--- 
      Upended elements pried from the purpose 
5     Dull day proposes, these elements 
      Rhapsodize to obey your compelling grace 
      As I, who move unshielded among them, 
      Am spun to molten love by the owned harmonious noise 
      Sending white tendrils into stone gated ears 
10    Until melodious waves crest and besieging enter 
      To touch a magenta core, unsealed: 
      So touched, so tortured.
