LOVE
Loving with my palms up, stretched out
like sieving liquid bounty love of sun and rain,
receiving grace, opening leafs into a holy book
illustrated by hand, dragons and lace
Love with my lungs breathing in and out
The medium we swim in, the thrashing thrubs
of a fetus’s ultrasound heart
Love that absorbs so much from us
love that dampens the pollution of our
oblivious maneuvers and tired leavings
It forgives
Mother Earth love or whatever Earth as an
operating being prefers to be known as
if it could convey it to us, Gaia
Love of the steady burning wick
candle light sun, gold and silver sun
sun behind clouds, sun around the horizon,
sun here
Our love… your mind, mine and ours
and what I can do
Sometimes I grope, sometimes I give, thankful
for the continuity of the skin of our days
