Only so pleased by sacrifice
Proffered through sacred flame,

were made by 
God. All have the
same roots, same body

Need for love
found in
all

All

the creator,
Almighty,
who made
All

All
humans 
act out of
ignorance. They

where you used to lay i smell perfume

And left for San Antone
Trying to fulfill a fading dream before time washed it away
She said...

your interest in me is faltering steep
I try to make the difference by splitting it in two

at the white candles –
chestnut trees under my window.
In the sea angles the transparent cupolas
