WHAT WAS SAID TO THE ROSE

What was said to the rose that made it open
 was said to me in my chest.

 What was told the cypress that made it strong
 and straight, what was whispered the jasmine

 so it is what it is, whatever made sugarcane
 sweet; whatever was said to the inhabitants

 of the town of Chigil in Turkestan that makes
them so handsome, whatever lets the pomegranate

 flower blush like a human face, that is being
 said to me now. I blush. Whatever put eloquence

 in language, that's happening here. The great
warehouse doors open; I fill with gratitude,

 chewing a piece of sugarcane, in love wiyh
 the one to whom every that belongs!
