LUMINOUS INTOXICATION
Red Sulphur Under The Red Maple
Light upon light
And shade upon shade
Gathered beneath
The dappled leaves of red maple…
The mureeds take shelter
Beneath the canopy of sainthood…
Am I awake or in a dream?
The edges are blurred…
Everything seems to glow
Around the luminous curves!
Am I still upon the earth…
Or in a space outside of time?
Intoxicated by his attar
Permeating every vine…
Those dead vines…
Which cling to the tree…
Begin to spring back to life
As they drink from the breeze!
