Perfurmed Fountain

i was eating sawdust
before You let me drink
from Your perfumed fountain

what did i know of fragrance
of being thirst
of being quenched
of love and longing
even
of
my
self
before i met you ?

it is no small matter:
Love

it marks all its prisoners
for complete annihilation

even if i wanted
where would i go?

it is the entire cosmos
and holds us
enthralled
