Night Perfumes

Night perfumes, scents The wind carries them As it carries The seeds of plants: Night perfumes Night perfumes The waters Cross the saintly Threshold. But the church be closed. The camel in the night Walks slow and lewd Over the sands He has no lewd intent Though he walks lewd In the red and chill Desert In the red and frosty Desert Where icicles of water crystals And night dew From genesis in the heavens lower Grew. There is a wind that Speaks in Arabic The same as a Venetian violin Sole in that desert vastness Sole Sole and exclusive troubadour: Breaks the silence Experience that knifes Silence itself This night This night.
