Triptych

Note: Traditionally a triptych is a painting or carving that has three side-by-side parts, panels, or canvases. The poem presents its message using three images.

Triptych

Dusk comes,
there is music
in the moon,
and the river water sings
a wanton, silver passion.

Above, among the clouds,
a sudden drift of angels
sends April meadow answers
to the questions
in your eyes.

Lady, do not dream
the ending of the day,
for your perfect lips
conspire the reason
I must tarry.
