This is for the woman with one black wing
perched over her eyes: lovely Frida, erect
among parrots, in the stern petticoats of the

her spine resides in, that flaming pillar-
this priestess in the romance of mirrors.

The other options are not correct because they don't make sense based on the stanza from the sonnet.
