If you keep your eyes
closed for long enough,
you will dream of peace
as well. You will see her
dangle her feet above
a course of water glistening between
sea and sea or lake and sea,
go ahead! Cast your line
or draw some liquid to your lips:
she will smile when you spit.
She is a horn weaving crowns
of spikenards, roses, laurel leaves.
She is a circle riffling through
the pages of an endless book.
She is a square searching with her eyes
for stones to shape and pile.
