THOU SHALT UNDERSTAND



Ageless, faceless flame

I dare myself to bleed.

Thou shalt understand

my most obscure need.



A face without a face,

strong, yet not strong.

A vision breathes within

as I listen to that song.



Quivering hands write

my shadow in this shy night.

A ragged moon coaxes me

into murmuring your light.



Io ti voglio bene, my blood sighs.

I meet my echo in a reflection.

Reveal me your infinitude,

render me your protection.



Ageless, faceless flame

I dare myself to bleed.

Thou shalt understand

desire sleeping in a seed.



Karla Bardanza
