I skimmed across Blackwater without once submerging
onto the banks of an urban morning,
that hungers the first light much, much more
than the mountains ever do.
And she like a ghost beside me
goes down with the ease of a dolphin
and emerges unlearned, unshamed, unharmed,
for she is the perfect creature, natural in every feature
and I am the geek with the alchemist's stone.
For all of you who must discover,
for all who seek to understand,
for having left the path of others,
you find a very special hand.
And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time,
and it is the only way,
forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes
to ponder his debt and his life eternally.

One bright blue rose outlives all those
two thousand years, and still it goes
to ponder his debt and his life eternally.
