Creation

GYJ

(To Leonard Cohen)



Faces float in sealight scolding

this space in earth enfolded by tides in and out

and high and sometimes arching low, we let heights excite

lost worlds submerged and held skeletal in shipwrecked structures,

each dim crack preserved as breathing life in and out, choicelessly pulling you here

and casting you back: we find pleasure expanding and pain retracts - deeper rhythm and pulse

pulling and pushing in and out of Eden, as soul sex holds you closer, rhythms of touch attract and reject,

press and release and enfold you again. And opening the holding to wilder seas where we could fuck and fuse,

create and part - as universe reforms in great explosion and dies again, receiving here in sacred shelter the light show

of coincidence, the accident of words tongued in place of hope, the incident of being through sensuous reaction deeper

still to consume ourselves: disperse. And you could be all to me- mother, lover, father, brother, friend, charletan, beggar,

tramp most holy with face torn and scarred- as when human glance carresses this chest of breath, it expands around

dust storm transforming to pillar of light- the tribal need in wilderness searching freedom and separate suddenly,

we turn from golden statues, minor gods and each mirage of light reflecting inside itself, as we collapse

in space beyond holding life in death, and death in life, the ecstasy of pain, and torment of pleasure,

the celebration of suffering, and joy most alone. And I have no right not to love you

from unending, radiant core where time unwinds all crazy, dress undone,

grinning wide as loving here, we are in love breathing echelons

where creators destroy and destruction creates

and the only mark of private self is

a collective sounding of fate.
