I see your face in the desert
After forty days
Hungry.
But your eyes are clear,
...
Sweet, succulent,
pleasing to the eye,
life-giving,
the flower closes
...
Rosy cheeks from Innisfree,
Wild Killarney locks
and Mayo smile,
I do but love you Erin Isle,
...
Today I fished at Broken Bridge.
I threw a mosquito on the water
and waited for a Grayling to tear the surface
and impale itself on a steel barb.
...
Jesus
I see your face in the desert
After forty days
Hungry.
But your eyes are clear,
Your sight is keen.
The Dance begins,
and you have chosen me
to be your partner,
Clumsy feet.
I will go to the desert
and prepare.
I've always wanted to dance.
