Ode to Eva-Jane
Une minute de lecture
She is the burning sun that rises in the Himalaya,
A cold storm in the middle of the Sahara,
I cannot see her.
Her visage was the Moon
Her hair the veil of the night made of the purest carbonado
Her eyes were two bright stars and she twirled in the court of Saba,
The petals of her lips singing to the Gods.
Her laughs in the garden turned into weed and ravens
On the balcony, I whisper her name to the Lost Children
Have you seen my sister?
She was the Moon and the stars, an angel in disguise.
The Devil trapped and dragged her to Hell
For Proserpina she was mistaken
Have you seen my Joy and my Soul?
Or must I have to face Israel’s seven years of burden?
