Seren de la Vega is a lyrical poet.
                                           Narcissus, In His Lake:

put her down: Before the gray of her grazes all to be away,
Soon you’d be all bone, and noise;
   So many like you –
     So many like you there are.

See – see – she paints you “red”
And now – you plead to God
    For a silky stature about yerself, or anyone, or anyone;

Put – her – down!
   Narcissus in his lake – at last!
   And careful – not to drown!
