"You Are" (Such Beautiful Words)

you are such beautiful words

where beautiful is not a word

there is now no word for beautiful

which is the exquisite world

that has replaced your eyes

so beautiful that the world mitosisizes

two globes inside your sockets now

turn in for truth and out for beauty

turning and turning in the rotating gyre

the livelong day and the deathlong night
