H E A V E N S C E N T


Let us put them
down now

Draw the old rugged splinters
from my shoulder
and I'll
pull them from yours

Cleanse my ancient wounds
and I will cleanse yours

Kiss my now opened head
and I'll kiss yours

I can ease
your suffering
if you will allow

I'll wipe away
your sacred tears
and you can sail away
on mine

Let us now fashion
these crosses
into a latticework
full and pregnant
with jasmine blossoms
