Body of earth,
don’t talk of earth
Tell the story of pure mirrors
The Creator has given you this splendor–
Why talk of anything else?

kiss of life
At night we fall into each other with such grace.
When it’s light, you throw me back
like you do your hair.
Your eyes now drunk with God,
mine with looking at you,
one drunkard takes care of another
