A Prayer to my Beloved in the Levant

Before we enter the land of Canaan

We’ll take a naked swim in the blue Mediterranean

And a dip in the baptismal water of the river Jordan

And get converted to our secret religion.

I’ll make you my devi and high Priestess

Who’ll ask for nothing but a pure sacrifice of kisses.

My Beatrice……my Laura …….. my Light Empyrean!

Grant me a little niche in your holy pantheon;

This is your Dante’s, your Petrarch’s sole petition.
