SNOW GLOBE VISION OF LA BELLE ET LA BETE (REPOSTED)

 

SNOW GLOBE VISION OF LA BELLE ET LA BETE




[to Christ in his sorrowful incarnations
(and after the film by Jean Cocteau)]


the teardrop diamonds in your hand

rueful rubies can't be spent
who are you really


do we even know


bearing our disfigurement
in the desolate garden,


most desolate Rose

is it too late?

are you still there?
turning the ring three times I pray

for the ancient fairytale trumpets


the snow-glitter ready to descend-
