Ekphrasis Lyrics

The holy geometry

of flesh and souls,
the liturgy of arms,

mystical hands and thighs,

sanctified lips and eyes.

Two beings one breath,

two grains one bread,
golden sweat blesses

the face and breast,

The beauty comes out from his rib

in which he puts the life; and he

will carry life and her forevermore.
The life and death in love embrace,

in unison kneel at the bed,

where racing breaths

awake the day and night,

sacrosanct whiteness and red.
