Festival of the sweet name I chose names
for you in my prayerbook. I had no other teacher. Your pages immersed
in such terrible love provoking my thirst. They opened, sweetly, paths
in my blood -obedient until then-misplaced sometimes, perturbed the
ghostly purity of my child-like thoughts when from those verses, the
most beautiful words, were becoming part of my innocent language.
My first caresses were verbs, my love only to name you and the pain
a precious stone the wounds in the tender skin of your back. My gaze
traveled over your flowing blood of the ardent unceasing and my pulses,
repeating incessantly the enrapturing news, until the translucent
veins, rose. The light trembled with your name, like a heart was jumping
between the ribs and the tired missal of my falling hands, Still marks
disengaged as covered shells. Tiny sparkles between the fabric, looking
down, from the communion table, Signalling my relief. And annulled,
enamored I lightly parted my mouth, while my body received all of
your body.
