I know the plain of your back
and the valleys where your faults lie
sheltered from tourists’ eyes.
I know the shade and shadowed
orchards of your sorrow
as I know the road that leads
a wanderer to mountains poised
in the mist of passion. I know
the landscape, as I know the hearth,
where I return to love
painted of pastoral warmth
from your pastel heart.
