A Saint is in the eye

      A saint is in the eye
                 that sees thee
      Upholding light
                 impatient skies descend--
5     Blue litmus insert
                 bedeviling a patched wold
      Changeless spirits inherit and descry
                 a lice-bed.
      Infinitely dark trees
10               shade the scree-
      Shaped cynosure-- adoring Life!
      Crying bloods leak down
                 a marble eye
      In thirsting wish seeing
15               glory-adornments
      Perched at the white clasp
                 of your throat
      Charging the plush surge
                 velvet time blots
20               --- in violet time reprised!
