there is the spirit as they might say
and love is Divine as they might decree
in those Heavy Books -
yet there is the manifest body,
sweetheart
there is one that is you
and one that’s me;
and as ancient poets and seers have said
all the earth’s topography
its mountains and grass and lakes
and water and fire and air
all of the earth is here in the body
so it is only proper
we explore the body
wide and deep within
perhaps to see if we can catch the spirit
