Indifference
I bowed before my indifferent beloved and saw
I reached the heights of love again and again and saw
I called out to her so much more and saw
I went on burning in my own fire of love and saw
I kept on stopping, stooping, and stifling myself and saw
I kept on writing letters of love, pouring out my heart and saw
I held hands, walked along the road and saw
Amidst prayer I opened my eyes in Church and saw
Go on lighting a bed of embers in front of my feet
Keep on sewing my chest with threads of pain
Go on, make my destination again a mirage
I have the heart of a sculptor, I am unstoppable
