TORTUCIA


I will not forsake you, o my Goddess:
Only your light is seen to shine.
Your face alone is the face of beauty,
The table yours at which I dine.

This spell of words from a throat of silence;
The shell off this back I lay at your feet.
The scales on these limbs unweighed by justice.
The desire for peace relinquished complete.

 
November 6, 1979
