That World-Making Word Is Beauty’s Act and Verb

 

Both lotus and love command

the same: “Look and see!”


From that Word the lotus 

to the world has sprung,

after Kabir I sing and cant.

For the morning love of mine


got a burgeon for her mouth

folding pistils amid petals,

the finest and most delectable

vintage hatching down inside.


To be gilded, honeyed, spiced

by a sunshine and its pollen dust.

From that Word a whole new world 


and opus of her lotus have just come.

By the fainting descant of the drunken

eyes as they blaze and roll and glisten.
