Moonwater

Where the night pours its light

The other world lives here.

The moon so big
it lights up the snowflakes like crystals—
confirming the answered prayer.

A saint-body walks through
without footsteps,
without old clothes.

Every known form of matter dissolves.
Here the ecstatic phenomenon slips
beyond all shapes.

A red rose
of Mother
grows.
