Ghazal
Before this Earth, before even Time, only I existed and you.
Before sight or even imagination, only I existed and you.
Before thoughts climbed stairs and dreams rubbed their eyes,
Before morning’s call, only I existed and you.
Before light brightened and the world grew full,
Before things seen and things unseen, only I existed and you.
We stand onstage in outlandish costumes;
Before we debased ourselves like this, only I existed and you.
The body counsels restraint, but I talk back;
Before being arose in any way, only I existed and you.
Our simpleton god knows nothing of love, nothing of passion.
Even before my marrow quickened, only I existed and you.
