| My Cathar Sister
You are the source
The flow
The sleeplessness
The transcendence
And I don't mind
If you have feet of clay
For how else
Would I walk with you
The land of Provence
Is modern with motorways
But it is this soaring
Out of reach
Which is the secret of
La Domna Sosebuda
Seventeen years it took
To see you clearly
Amid the sweltering heat
The mirages of flesh and spirit
Seventeen years
My Cathar sister
With the green dressing-gown
And all the colours of the spectrum
