IMMORTAL

Woman of Bruges, moving Memling -
Barbara, Salome, Kat -
You give me that sidelong glance
And I wonder where you're at.

Woman of Bruges, proud-necked swan
Enthroned on the circling flood,
What high romantic secrets
Pulse through your noble blood?

Woman of Wool Street, famous
For your beauty and your lace,
I have written you this poem
To immortalise your face.
