“If anyone asks you
how the perfect satisfaction
of all our sexual wanting
will look, lift your face
and say,
Like this.
When someone quotes the old poetic image
about clouds gradually uncovering the moon,
slowly loosen knot by knot the strings
of your robe
Like this.
If anyone wonders how Jesus raised the dead,
don’t try to explain the miracle.
Kiss me on the lips
Like this. Like this.”
“i am
afraid
that if
i open
myself
i will not stop
pouring. (why do i fear becoming
a river. what mountain
gave me such shame.)”
The fear that
All this
will end.
The fear that
it won’t.
“I look to her in the simplest, smallest moments- when she reads or drinks her coffee or brushes her teeth and I am breathless – knowing it does not take a million dollar telescope to witness the crushing beauty of the universe.”
Live a lifetime in a moment.
If it doesn’t come bursting out of you
in spite of everything,
don’t do it.
Unless it comes unasked out of your
heart and your mind and your mouth
and your gut,
don’t do it.
