I sit holding a torch to the ingress
where your presence seeps into my soul:
is there more I can offer you, Senora,
Sovereign of all phenomena?
You shot in here, a quiver of birds, this
morning as the fires are burning down.
Shearing open the skies for crimson hues
of peace that now flood the quarters, after
the rains when roses have withered, I find
you stealing past the fragrant path westward.
I am become a lighted lamp, bowing
to you in every smile that greets the day.

I sit holding a torch to the ingress
where your presence seeps into my soul:
is there more I can offer you, Senora,
Sovereign of all phenomena?
You shot in here, a quiver of birds, this

Shearing open the skies for crimson hues
of peace that now flood the quarters, after
the rains when roses have withered, I find
you stealing past the fragrant path westward.
I am become a lighted lamp, bowing
to you in every smile that greets the day.
