for her...for you
...not even
the smallest
most slender twig of assegai
is needed
to tamp
or to guide
the downward-flowing
purple flame
on its urgently deliberate journey....
napkins are folded
petals floated
salvers rest...poised, shining, resolute....

I would like to translate this poem
a three-fold source of inspiration...thanks to each....
