The Dog and Its Reflection

Still water and a black dog tasting flesh in her mouth 
On a bridge as thin and fragile as a strand of hair 
Passing over transparent flames, she saw her image 
Howling over a dog tasting a gem of ruby 
Ignited, Sophia plunged straight at the black lion 
Anguished now in waves of wails, a white lamb helped her out
