Light! br Innumerable ions of light, br Kindling, irradiating, br All to their foci tending… br br Light that jingles like anklet chains br On bevies of little lithe twinkling feet, br Or clingles in myriad vibrations br Like trillions of porcelain br Vases shattering… br br Light over the laminae of roofs, br Diffusing in shimmering nebulae br About the night's boundaries, br Or billowing in pearly foam br Submerging the low-lying stars… br br Light for the feast prolonged - br Captive light in the goblets quivering… br Sparks evanescent br Struck of meeting looks - br Fringed eyelids leashing br Sheathed and leaping lights… br Infinite bubbles of light br Bursting, reforming… br Silvery filings of light br Incessantly falling… br Scintillant, sided dust of light br Out of the white flares of Broadway - br Like a great spurious diamond br In the night's corsage faceted… br br Broadway, br In ambuscades of light, br Drawing the charmed multitudes br With the slow suction of her breath - br Dangling her naked soul br Behind the blinding gold of eunuch lights br That wind about her like a bodyguard. br br Or like a huge serpent, iridescent-scaled, br Trailing her coruscating length br Over the night prostrate - br Triumphant poised, br Her hydra heads above the avenues, br Values appraising br And her avid eyes br Glistening with eternal watchfulness… br br Broadway - br Out of her towers rampant, br Like an unsubtle courtezan br Reserving nought for some adventurous night.
