To Al-Andalus

land of oranges and almonds,

may I return, like swallow or salmon.

 

Dreaming, as if under laudanum

I have journeyed far in these pilgrim sandals.

Forty-five miles from Strasbourg to Landau.

 

Measure my days on a marble sundial

by Córdoba’s mosque, jasper mandala.

 

All of my errands now I abandon.
