Your wings are greener
than the faraway willow tree in spring, adorned
with tails, lissome as a sundown shaft of light,
to elude a starlit maw. I glow alike
and still you come to me. Is it because I have no mouth
to devour you, let alone to speak these words?
If I did, I'd only tell you—
stay to the wall you're settled on. Do not draw too close
like so many of the grey-winged ones who tap my skin until
they go up in flares of light and dust.
Get away.
Get away.
Get away.
You singed your wings
and morning's here.
Open speculation resides within the spectral nature of the poem, you have distended (def.) or extended the point of observation (the beloved) to the endless horizon by rejecting your own desire, your own natural love by setting her or him or the deity of the satyr or the cherub the seraphim the zephyr the open sun and somehow shielded and WALLED your formal attachment to the mysterious beloved
In fact, the above is not correct (except for the shrewd maw and his apparent lissomity)
Imminent judgement awaits. The correction of form. The correction of love. The gestation of living.
