The Valley of Love
I will walk towards you
across a field of hot coals
taking infinitesimally small steps
Slowly
into nearly infinite distance
The fire will burn
all that is unnecessary
so that
when I reach you,
you can touch the core.
And if that fails,
I will swim towards you
across the sea of molten lava
(It appears as if the lava erupted from my heart)
I will not drown in explosions
I repeat to myself
Like 99 names of Alláh
Like 95 Alláh’u’Abhás
Like Yá Sáhib’uz’Zamán
I will swim
I will rest by the shore
And if you’re still there,
rest assured—
I will bring you fire.
