A Beginning Without End Poem by L.B. Temuco

You appeared from the years
that hid you, Aphrodite
purple anemone
red sakura
The red gore of slain silence
You swam in my blood
to love me
You found me wounded
You came down from sacred Yoshino
You fell from the calyx of the sun
You are willing to leave and then return
You lay waste the sound of cold, uncertain tongues
You follow the silver foam of the moon
over breaking water, born as a sea
The sky a coronation of scarlet, and
Across the land blue flowers sprang
from the soaked earth
like a dress that you wear
to break into my heart
It is another season and
there is no absence yet
I watch, driven by your dark energy
all that you are
all that you are
all that determines you
you are a solitary blessed mystery
a singularity
your heart of limitless volume
your eyes of infinite grace
across the failing sun in incandescent flight
I have seen your moon full
I have seen you half smiling
I have seen the claret shadows
of your body spread over sand
all my days have been alive
all my days have been alive
All my flesh immortal around a stone
