Deux Movements

1. Temple qui fut. 2. Poissons d'or.

1

A soul curls back, Their souls like petals, Thin, long, spiral, Like those of a chrysanthemum curl Smoke-like up and back from the Vavicel, the calyx, Pale green, pale gold, transparent, Green of plasma, rose-white, Spirate like smoke, Curled, Vibrating, Slowly, waving slowly. O Flower animate! O calyx! O crowd of foolish people!

The petals! On the tip of each the figure Delicate. See, they dance, step to step. Flora to festival, Twine, bend, bow, Frolic involve ye. Woven the step, Woven the tread, the moving. Ribands they move, Wave, bow to the centre. Pause, rise, deepen in colour, And fold in drowsily.
