To Ilse

She made beauty a birthright, my Ilse.
Her rosy cheeks, rouge unneeded,
shadowed her dark eyes.

I was impressed by her,
depraved by her,
all at once humiliated for her.
A hunger lingered inside me,
craving her name.

Still my salvation was denied by time
and the fleeting hours turned me mad.
Her finitude, my hellfire.
My temptation.
