Ghazal 6

Garden of paradise the priest holds precious
flowers in the vase to the vital and carnal

In the mosaic of mirrors your appearance has caused
a mapping of sunbeams through this world of dew

Hidden in what I build is the shape of decay
in the blood of the farmer is always revolt

Thousands of longings are hidden by silence
I am words worn from the stone of a child

We know that death has come and death will go
that is the sum of this world's many faces
