On the top corner of my hempen sheet,
I limn a marigold,
dripping yellow in flames.
On the opposite end,
a moonstone stands,
thinly veiled by a languid cloud.
The floor of imperial jade
is speckled with carnelians and coral red,
with pillars of emerald,
with ripples of aquamarine, heliodor, and jacinth
Supine on grass,
a pair of azurites
meditates on the captured light
that has strayed from my eyes.
