The streets of Seville keep
their best secrets hidden in the dark -
in moonlight’s soft sheenI bare all that I am
-
I try
to find words for warhow it wrecks, how it feels
but
there is no language I find
to reach -
I will weave you garlands
of dazzling wisteria
twine the flowers , , , -
why love?
no one knows but
everyone does
