I dig
for words
in dungeons of darkness-
murky oceans
where sentences swim
among barnacles
algae sponges
and anemones;
sometimes the water stinks
like sewers
from which I scrape the rust of my mother
away.
Your seeds
grow abundantly
fermented in rich soils
begonias bloom,
pollinated in faraway landscapes:
Namibian nuances,
Jerusalem juices,
irises from Istanbul,
abundance of flowers
secret gardens
rare fragrances
reading you
writing me.
