where we are
each
past time and land
we’ll be there
in one space
and one loving ground
and we’ll love
like beasts on heat
we’ll know our love
and all time wasted burn
in one animal mate;
Oh, we’ll love first the body
and the mind
for we’ll have all eternity
darling, for the soul and such sweet things
but first we’ll transcend the time and place
that bind us to confines and unknowing
and we’ll be driven to the same mating ground
darling
where’ we’ll discover the temporal love
of the flesh and attraction and matter
and propagation
and leave eternal love for eternal times;
we’ll love like all our lives depend on it
darling
we’ll love like the very survival of earth
and the human race depended on it;
darling
we’ll love like
everything is dependent on
the way we rock in bed
