Guinevere Gyratory

Fair Guinevere
of yonder heart

off-centering the nucleus

exchanging stations

gauzy veils
epiphanies
and Holy Grails.

No quest so true
revealing you
pursued by panting Lancelot.

Three torrid rings

recoiling

allegiant loved
capricious loves
seditious love

embroiling

spun Table Round
down foundering
collapsing
fabled Camelot.

Your once and future Arthur
parts
for Avalon
anon and yon.

Queen surceasing
turn again
burn in more perfected light
kneeling toward thy utmost King

petitioning

envisioning

soft murmured prayers
divine affairs

especially contrite tonight.
