Alhambra
Just-heard
music, pure water
forced
from silver spouts
into
rippleless surfaces
in
marble-flower bowls,
released
and sped and slowed
through
cut channels
and
across the unflurried
pool;
not a droplet
spilt, not
a
minute
part
of
the gift of God
lost
in
founding
reflection
of earthly in
heavenly
elements.
