I Came to buy a smile — today —
But just a single smile —
The smallest one upon your face
Will suit me just as well —
The one that no one else would miss
It shone so very small —
I’m pleading at the “counter” — sir —
Could you afford to sell —
I’ve Diamonds — on my fingers —
You know what Diamonds are?
I’ve Rubies — like the Evening Blood —
And Topaz — like the star!
‘Twould be “a Bargain” for a Jew!
Say — may I have it — Sir?
Emily Dickinson
Sunrise’s smile
A Lady of breath-taking beauty (Sunset) visits a Store run by Sunrise. She is the wealthiest Lady in the World, known as the greatest Jewelry collector. But Desire is unlimited. She is jealous of Sunrise of His smile, and offers a Bargain between Her Jewelries and His smile.
* Evening Blood: Crimson Evening
