PYGMALION
the gods pitied Pygmalion
his love for his statue
(so nubile under
his fingers),
her reflected love for him
decided to bring them.together,
enshrine in marble
make
their love immortal,
permanent
aching to embrace forever
inching closer each
millennium
a tale with enough true
sadness for
our age
though the fable
Iives
inspires in
different form
secure in
its impossible irony
