come to lay mine earth's foundation !
mark off the dimensions around me, for without your limits, i am lost !
stretch your great measure line across me :
give me footing; lay my cornerstone : my proud waves halt on the rugged rock of ego
bless my burning face with but a drop of dew
and bind my soul to the Pleiades
lay ambush in theological thicket
lurk like the spectral jackal
smile like the mother hyena
sneak amongst the ideas
crouch in your den like a lion
permeate my soul as water permeates sugar :
rinse the impurity, dilute the virulent poison
in titan woods and forlorn forest groves i have found repose
i have filled the caves with skillets and handicrafts and silks
carvings, amulets, innumerable goods i stand
on shelves and altars beneath
the yellow clouds of moth blind me yet i see
through the storm i behold
the most perfect vision
of María de Jesús de Ágreda
perfectly beholding
Mother Mary on a cloud
