Prayer

Together I am with you here and now in a dusk that – they say – is the beginning of night. Outside from the minaret a call comes in a foreign tongue... And inside and in me another call goes round with the sound of your breathing – familiar like my own breathing familiar since eternity – unveiled and unconditional but for the condition of nakedness the call of your naked body and the naked sound of your breathing it is in my ear: the whisper of the full moon in the ear of night, caressing and naked in the soft bed in the bedroom of night. Unconditional and together you are in me in all my nights in a room whose every moment brims with the smell of new furniture and always new... Naked tears caressing slide down my cheek: giving thanks for joy at the altar of each of your breaths...
