Slanting Eyes

We searched for your slanting eyes
as you plucked a dombra
on hills of Kazakhstan 
your circles of light
dancing, leaping, gyrating  
making heath grow
in bundles

It sang your mission
Heaven on Earth
Heaven on Earth
ropes loosened, dangled
Where to ?

Into One Source
where we created you
so that love can 
jump again in
black lashes
