The angels spun
and flew directly
at the sight of
patriarchal rule,
leaving kisses of you
etched deep in the abyss
of my memory.

Daily waters are miles
and miles from here,
shrivelled, parched
I watch as birds
fly freely,
gulping my share.

If I ever come out
of this exile alive,
watch and find your breath
for you shall truly
be bearing witness
to miracles...

...if love should but prevail
