Thaumaturge's Periplus.Sonnet XVIII

XVIII. The Mercurial Gemini

Two flickering youths upon a bridge of glass,Compel the traveler to a duel of wit;They change their faces as the breezes pass,In shadows by a thousand candles lit.They speak in palindromes and paradox,Of dualities that govern every breath;Of keys that vanish in the turning locks,And life that is the twin of noble death.He must reconcile the mirror and the man,The light of reason and the dark of dream;To bridge the distance of the cosmic span,Across the rushing of the mental stream.The twins dissolve into a single ghost,The silent wardens of the border-post.
