Caress (after octavio paz)
George Bradford Patterson II

 

Your hands
open the robes of my being
adorn me in a further incandescent nakedness. Your hands
form another body for my body,
light little candles in my heart
which radiates rhapsodies of lotus candle-lights,
dancing throughout the cosmos
to infinity.

George Bradford Patterson II is a Ph.D. candidate in Language Education at the University of the Phillipines
