Journey


by Alba Brunetti



 

 

my pilgrim tongue

on the map of

your body

seeks sanctuary

 

on this long road                  

I am weary with

longing

and hungry

for you

 

let me rest beside you

and feel the sweet shelter

of your skin

 

I have traveled

many deserts

and my heart is

faltering

 

the day is almost

gone

take me in

let me rest

 

and in this holy night,

unexpected yet longed for

I taste your

salted divinty
