Facing Mecca

 

Everything expansive, released in the proper direction,

 

Breathing in and out the delicious air,

 

Believing in you, needing and craving your sage protection,

 

No apologies for my fervent prayer.

 

One touch meant a quiver, but now I need your hands

 

To cover every inch of this territory -

 

If sovereignty is what your eminence demands

 

I am fully prepared to give you the glory.

 

Chocolate ice cream, melting, down Monty Clift's back...

 

The fountain of youth, trickling, toward my private seas...

 

Then you tunnel in, my dreamland under attack.

 

Why ever fight it? You win. I'm yours if you please.

 

Among the many strewn about in your everyday

 

It is I facing Mecca, and I can't look away.
