Mien of Augustine
Eye emerald green
Fell hair turpentine
Visage serpentine
.
Wiseful Augustine
Heart indoctrined
Mind crystal clean
Old soul hid within
.
My fairest Augustine
You were my Sistine
My painter's pristine
Glassblower's gleam
.
An apex Augustine
A miasmatic welkin
Cynosure demeaned
Stark mise-en-scéne
.
Company's Augustine
Illustrious at the seam
Stars in the higher levin
Yet sardonyx in chagrin
.
Dear sacrosanct Augustine
In darkest garden evergreen
Rose Eden's shallowest skin
Vox nihili, you're our original sin.
