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.
