A VIGNETTE by CAROLINE KING DUER

First Line: CUPID, PLAYING BLIND MAN'S BUFF
Last Line: LOVE WAS CAUGHT IN PSYCHE'S HAIR.
Subject(s): LOVE; PSYCHE (MYTHOLOGY);

CUPID, playing blind man's buff,
Seized my Psyche's floating tresses.
Here is silken clue enough
To dispense with any guesses.
This is Psyche's golden fleece:
She's my prisoner, past release.
But the lookers-on declare
Love was caught in Psyche's hair.
