Love Letter 344 I Kindle my Rapport with the Beloved

This thin encounter
has only been the garb of god

I have not used it
as my defenses

but to relinquish
all

your courtroom
is translucent
the sentence
always
to love

each step
that I abandon
let me brandish
the next
in my knowing

your harp
holds the ancient tune
each string --- a candle

and the shape of the wood -- a cathedral
which catches the soul
in its melodic net

Your tune
is the fingers of your tribe
rattling their return
(rapping on the door)
already kissing the floor
with reunion

I am always near

if not,
then

I, myself, am you

Your Beloved
