“Don’t look down”, the prophet said
and to the sky I lifted eyes
upward through the clouds to see
God’s beauty in a soul set free.

And then it rained immortal truth,
new feelings heaven sent,
to wet the thirst of womanhood
and wash away falsehoods.

But in the sand magnetic rays
pull forcibly, invisibly,
and downward turn my eyes
to the ground of no desire.

Up and down, up and down,
from truth to telling lies;
how many walk along with me
and suffer not the agony?

“Don’t look down”, the prophet said
to me he spoke, or to the dead?
