Camelot

 

Thee grey of Eyre,

a lavish bower,

the stoop in bloom,

the crocus flower,

my heart unyielded

turns its head,

and marigolds

shall prosper.

 

Three sets of tides,

three anchors deep,

the steadfast curse,

an andromeda

reaped;

the vales of time,

not now withstanding,

the veiled youth

in scaffolds standing.

 

  Emily Isaacson

Titan

 

The daffodil garret,

steep in evening’s light,

a shadow to the monarch

deep in thought.

 

With each new pool unentered,

each new character uncasted,

the witch, dispelled from spell to spell,

in Kingdoms to thine own.

 

An homage now to youth,

that cannot check its days,

and rides a furious wind

like horse and chariot.

 

   Emily Isaacson

 
The Door

 

Miracle, you speak

to the earth and it will brush

the finery of Autumn with

such grants of time.

 

The moments seep under the worlds.

 

Euthendom, where witness

tables movement,

and the helichrysum

drips innert. 

 

   Emily Isaacson

The Daughter's Vice

 

The verse was rhymed,

and solstice mount,

a church.

 

The hymn of variegation,

flow’r by flow’r,

the timbrel’s tune

a medium to the stains.

 

The boldened panes refract

your machlis' destined furor,

I, in the ripened note, shall play.
