You are lovely and great as Rome among its hills
Worshipped by firemen patrolling my conscience.
Storms unwind the darkening main roads
You come and leave by as history.
Tonight I barged in on your life,
Robbed the pyramids clean of a calm your eyes have,
And now I’m desire lining a coat made of space and time,
And the last common chord, when earth quakes and the sky trembles.
You are the wild bird’s dream on a moonlit night,
Wheat blossoming in Manitoba loam.
When star ore reached boiling in the cauldron of the sky,
Two lovers appeared from the East
and worked their way West.
(Juozas Tysliava)
