a good day in the office...

Ah Victoria

last night you n me lookin at
  Queer Street -  
  me wanting to tell
  Victoria
      of 
     the 
gleamin gratitude
hallowed homage
   i hold
    for 
  Victoria 
  
  wordless
  before
 her great
 pale green
    jade     
   moon
  on her 
   white
moon struck flesh

 in the broken courtyard
 the white oyster shells
     sing of the sea
     leaves we plucked
             sigh

- Christina Conrad [Homage to Victoria]
