Delta Lyrae

DELTA
There's an equation
to certify the waves;
division
sums separated
from their loved ones
in a land of letters
that formed a woman
in the bark holding
a linear sceptre
sentinel
to the paths
between the trees
snaking, sneaking,
twisting through the leaves,
like a lover's promise,
a chanced-upon route,
a commerce
of bodies breathing
like wild seas.
