To the gods for their graces We are all thankful mountains The goddess is a shower in the rain While we entertain ourselves In the middle of a misty afternoon I explain my vision of you In fully equipped gardens You blossom and rise like the moon Over the ocean A pattern is emerging Storms plummet the earth with fire High as an arrow in the sky We try again and again to hide But then suddenly your breath becomes A semi-automatic weapon And until we surrender to the tension That resides between our bodies We will never feel safe enough to die
