I place at your feet
The essence of my earth
The flavor of my heart
Consecrated in holy
words
Flowered rituals at
doorsteps
A blessing from God’s
store
With fire, water and
iron
Companions four of man
To make water holy
To preserve my love
And cleanse pain
I have sown my path
In altered piles
Praying in desert places
And hidden in the cleft
I should not look back
At things that did me
harm
For I have been brought
My despair purchased
At the edge of dark
And what was once
unsavory
Has becomes fit for your
table
