Where Are You, O Mother? I suffer apparitions. Ecstasy. Endless centuries of grief. Day and night the lion moon circles, finding nothing to eat. 2. Incomprehensible and without Beginning My cities of memory. Mysterious astronomy of the rose. Compass of the universe. 3. Trisagion I am the crumbed table on which the dishes have yet not been cleared. I thirst as the mouths of leaves. Wolf hunger of the newly born is mine. 4. Celebration Geraniums in bloom on the balconies of Buenos Aires. Mediterranean blue seen from the caves of Patmos. Vincent’s weeping yellows. 5. Four Elements Scarlet: Picasso’s Guernica. Blue: Saskatchewan flax. Gold: The hair of the sun.
