An angel with a sword stands high in sky,
flaming to show us where our shadows start.
The darkness in the garden's in my heart;
and so I have the most of shade put by.Smile at the night within these virid leaves,
invested in projections standing stark;
among the shining grasses hide deep dark;
and savor bitter tastes on the fresh breeze.All is good; pristine the opening bud
of the pear unfolds, clearly to conceive.Long-banned from Eden, yet at closed gates
of the senses, sieve joy through bars, and breathe
the air that has no visa for its fates:no stamp of history pins it to mud.
