Lydia from the kingdom
- The ruins of the temple of Artemis at Sardis, capital of the kingdom of Lydia
knowing you
from the longing.
the long closed avenue
of dream
i wandered of young
afternoons unmoving
time eternal autumn
a road a shore
i abandoned.
knowing you
from the root of time
i needed only
to close my heart in
yours
when our time came.
no map could ever
have brought me to you
as no course can bring
you near a star
standing in the
night of stars
i stand under
yours
a silver touch
on my eyes
fly to you in the
openness
our distant births
have made.
