Dreams of pomegranate and seaweed

Galatea Resurrects 

for H.D.

-->

A dream,

of pomegranate and seaweed

and Galatea;

a supreme fiction.

Flesh encased in stone. Every curve
A heroic gesture,

his artistry.

Revive Ophelia!
Bring back those brides,
Wilted flowers in hand,
condemned to hell;

-->

six pomegranate seeds,

a lover's backward glance.
