The henna artist

Tidbits of conversation

Gossip and rumors

And celebration

Ritual 

Spiritual

Ink on my hands and feet

My marriage to you is so unique

I need my henna artist

To paint my finger and palms

With the universe in the center

And vines to present my flowers 

Would you be inclined to be my husband?

Would you sublimely repeat your vows?

To me 

As deep as the ocean as deep as the sea

I need my henna artist to paint my hands

And my feet
