to Pluto and Narcissus

To Pluto, and Narcissus;
One, for modesty, 
the other, for slight; 
One betrothed, to Echo, 
the other, beknown, to Jezebel 

Both, a side, to each other, 
both, unrecognizable, in sight; 
Neither, an opposite, or, a negative, 
but, a dual, unseen, in flight; 

For Echo, Narcissus, is Love, at first, sight, 
But, to Jezebel, death, a repose, to slight; 
And, echos tremor, to trappings, in thought, 
as Narcissus, bemoans, the death, of his modesty, in sight; 
And, to Pluto, fear reigns, in sight, 
as unknown, slights, modesty, does perturb; 

To each, is horror, neither, each, conceived; 
to be, born, gifted, in chance, 
but, of recourse, to Love, does injury, slight; 
Echo, and Jezebel, unknown, in flight, 
each, preys, alike, in pride; 
One is, for death, in sight, 
the other, for sight, in death; 

To Pluto, life reigns, in heights, 
for Narcissus, heights, reigned, by life; 
To be, a dual, fraught, with fright, 
neither, conceives, each other, alike;
