Again hello love-

moving through this temple

skeleton chest and out

for even as you kiss places

so interior

that treasures were long

abandoned or forgotten,

you must glide on and out-

to further precincts

of life's space-


Flowing through wounded

forms and places

of innert refusal,

blowing over and through

every temple of every soul

- this love so great

and restless-

burns through all its forms-

be they locked in rage or tempers

or rebellious thrusts of freedom

this love rains there

soaking darkest basements

of contempt

and prisons of despair-

arriving wholly for real

on the most subtle

invitation.


Hello love again-

I close me eyes,

sink into surrender,

feeling it would take me,

kill me

in breaking these chords to earth

one day goodness destroying this self,

sculpting sacred division,

monumental reminder of loneliness-

grinding all palaces then to dust,

spice for angels' prayer-


Timeless, let me gently

collapse into it-

as much as I am able.


Love, again hello,

Goodbye.
