To a Muslim Girl

Lady, long, in the distant light,
Who are you?
Your veil has covered my face:
Where am I?

I watch my image in your eye:
Who am I?
You are too close for my touch:
Why?

Words fade upon your distant breath,
Cold and lonelier than desire;
You glide from night, untouched by sight:
You rise like fire, through a dream.

Lady, voiced from a long dark note
In the minds mist:
Your lips have lost the veil
Which should be kissed.

I watch a shadow by the lake
It is not you or I.
Lady, shivering on cold white ground,
Have you still
The world within your eye.
