was tangible to him
he thought
yet she left him in the desert like Elijah
he was gifted bread shaped like an Easter egg of the Resurrection by a bleak raven
the bird of his rapture for her
a raptor
and the brook gave him succour
but when he died the beauty of her soul
became intangible to him
her lustre tarnished to the black grief of worthless golden sands in the desert like Elijah
only then did he see her traitress soul tangible
