He shook each fig off history's tree

Into a basket spilling out

Over the temple's upper room.

The lavish incense made us drowsy

With ourselves. We feasted long

In the supper tent, while one by one

He whispered us away with him

To the pomegranate orchard.

Our garden tales recessed to myth,

But now are undone in the gaze of one

Whose gate exists to open out

At every point. Our lover calls,

You are the one I love.

His words are a rose rattled shut;

An inner dark velvet waits to be exposed

Until most have slumbered home.
