The floor of Salomon's Palace was made
of the most transparent glass.
The Queen of Sheba- when visiting
the Palace for the first time-
mistook the floor for a pool
of spring water.
And fearing to get soaked she lifted
up the hem of her emerald royal dress.
Everybody in the court was awestruck
watching her hairy goat's hooves
reflected on the glass
like an otherworldly moon
into a pond.
