Cinquieme

not to be diminished
your fifths carry me
to a realm of impossibility
where one dares to dream
far from the root
damned to a life of iniquity

octaves spun in figure eights
your eyes, demure
an opal of exchange
dying in and out
inexperience, enchantment
sated, heart

fetal by choice
fatal by chance
fated faith in dire romance

black and white
black and white

tuned,
keys just right
sung aloud
bathed in salts of earthed
tones

seduced
shadows serenade the scene
and not seen

It's amazing the strange and elusive creatures a Soul meets in the 5th Dimension. This poet knows - https://www.faena.com/aleph/articles/the-poem-with-which-nabokov-won-over-the-love-of-his-life/

The question is which 1? Surely better if read by you. I discovered these letter readings, simply brilliant. But that one, so beautifully thought through by the author of the letter ... to his second wife. They were both very intriguing and immensely large individual characters.
