Wash This Dog in Lily Nectar

[Guest guest]

"The lily, how passionately it needs some wild dog."

 

~Hafiz~

 

 

I declare a holy warning

on this wandering darling!

I proclaim a new order,

and a new blossoming,

in the grand scheme,

in the living, turning stream,

of myself.

A bud in the burning pond,

ignites into a death's head moth,

and moves in front of the willing moon,

and death is but a beautiful, fluttering shadow.

Wash me down the mountain

like sacred driftwood becoming

a stick in the mouth of a wild dog;

Find me Hafiz's wild dog,

to mate this singing, crazy lily.

I declare a wildcat action edict -

I am a wild dog in passion's grasp

with a hungry lily.

 

With Love,

Mazie
