Fontein
This mire of muscle,
This mud of flesh,
What waters well within my soul
And set me apart from the dust?
I see your image
When it seeps through the muck;
Contours spill over from their form:
The fields are plowed; the fleeces are shorn.
These tears of life,
These rains of love
Quench the ashen ground
And change brutal iron into rust
I imagine your face
In the plaza fountain.
People spill into the street:
The market is bustling, so I find retreat.
The gleam of eyes
The glow of light
What sun reveals your body
And sets you apart from the dust?
I wear your pallid mask
I think that I shall be the ghost
And flood the cistern of your soul:
You emerge from moonlight and words left untold.
This voice of night
This sound of wind
What moon consumes the day
And draws us into the ocean’s gust?
