I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness-- Jeremiah 3:3

GEISHA ON THE WALL
Today
She faces the wall
Laced with tiers
Of mingling litanies:
Morning murmurs,
Smoke-drenched throaty cries,
Salty cold drops.
The wall is hers,
A mirror where she wipes
The blanched geisha aside
And picks up the faint
Traces again
Of that pale
Brown silhouette
By the old morning crib.
