Vermeer's Eyes by Diane Dehler

Vermeer’s Eyes

Vermeer’s eyes
given to her.
A girl with a pearl and more,
sky transparent… his voluminous
heart.

Passion spires…star streaks.

All the luminous.
All the first moment.
A girl caught in a weave of
possibility.

Fata Morgana.

Diane Dehler

Opulent lips and red blood.
Microscopic details through a bright lens of moonlight.
Peering through a ghostly obelisk your reflection.
History, desire still warm

You said that you were coming.
A night naked of black wings.
Kiss prints left up and down milky skin an interior map.
When I first called out your name, Petal…
Beginning of the world.
