26 (you have taken)


YOU HAVE taken a bath in the dark sea. You are once again veiled in a bride's robe, and through death's arch you come back to repeat our wedding in the soul.

        Neither lute nor drum is struck, no crowd has gathered, not a wreath is hung on the gate.

        Your unuttered words meet mine in a ritual unillumined by lamps.
