From the Heart to the Center, a book of poetry

SEVEN WONDERS
The cradle of civilization resides in the measure of her left hip
He lays down his arm beside her cool bone
He is the Euphrates sinking into the solid dent of her cool side
mother Valley father Stream
At each new geography in love the ancients' instruments pour out of the eye

It's a rampage through her hanging gardens

From the Heart to the Center
