<div style="text-align: center;">I was as sure as faith and dance<br>
as darkness and its absence<br>
and as heaven and humans-<br>
I had no doubt that God was here<br>
And that God was there too;<br>
In sins, He was here and<br>
in the holiest of holies, He was there.
<p>It was a dark room under a dark rainy sky<br>
with the stars hidden behind frowning clouds<br>
The air carried everything including our doubts<br>
on its carelessly chaotic cold paths to nowhere</p>
<p>It was the sound of percussion instrument playing<br>
Playing soft hymns to the atmosphere unseen<br>
On the floor, seated we were:<br>
Legs crossed. Right on left leg<br>
right palm in left.<br>
A black candle burned its wax away<br>
to illuminate our dark life someways</p>
<p>Kiky had mastered her craft.<br>
She was in a black cassock<br>
She looked ahead of my head<br>
And closed her eyes again softly.<br>
She didn’t want to breath<br>
She didn’t want to call my name<br>
I watched her dance to the heavens;<br>
Head bent to the feet,<br>
Her hips curved around the dark,<br>
Hands thrown to the near west<br>
Heartbeats in accordance with every bit<br>
of nature. It was with the rains on the roof.</p>
<p>I watched her turn into air and<br>
back to a shadow on the wall<br>
I watched her move back and forth<br>
between the present world and trance<br>
She danced her glory off,<br>
She divined our future<br>
And I looked on with anxious surprise.</p>
<p>And my lover finally became everything<br>
I couldn’t have been,<br>
everything I had only dreamt of;<br>
The room walls<br>
The moment<br>
The air<br>
The candle<br>
The dark<br>
And God<br>
And Kiky was God<br>
And God was Kiky<br>
And God was us.</p>
<p>She opened her eyes abruptly and<br>
spoke to the silence and it broke<br>
As above so below, she said and smiled.</p></div>
