all heart

all heart

 

 

 

a gift

 

from out of the

 

sea of faces

 

a whole ocean full of

 

possibilities

 

a remnant of

 

the great barrier reef

 

a symbol secreted

 

from tender life beneath

 

hewn in love by

 

time and salt and sand

 

and laid upon our shore

 

from possibility to pocket

 

from pocket to passion

 

 

 

our flesh the

 

occaision of your

 

piercing

 

oh sacred heart

 

hanging now

 

like a crucifix

 

of sorts

 

our little miracle

 

of chance

 

this herculean effort

 

of basic instincts

 

synthesis of meaning

 

for survival of species

 

our free choice and our

 

con-fession

 

 

 

that first love

 

now moves across

 

the face of the deep

 

washes like waves

 

our sunburned feet

 

nothing else remains

 

between you and me

 

head, hips and heart

 

these three

 

equal and undivided

and free
