A Vanished Arcadia
blatantly passionate
perfected bodily beauty
attractiveness overcharged
a rhapsody of
recognition of
emotion&near ecstasy
reluctant to leave
overt interest remains
problematic
yet understood
innocent impulses
somewhat erotic
eventually
asking aloud
this interest to amuse
remote&unknowable
to applaud
perfection of
this gentle
kinder existence
perceived as a treasure
this survival of memories
the preserved
disappointments of
an abundant&
vanished arcadia
silence now a pleasure
a mere panacea
imbude
recorded now
with joy
