We say we are one flesh:
Two bodies in one heart
Sharing the cries of star to star
Species united, countries melted
On a girl’s throat from the
Tunic of Earth, with a rose of breasts
And longing that is a mouth
That never has enough food
To couple and not stay single
We say we are one flesh:
With two minds of one faith
Sharing the circle and space
That divides our respective births
Future united, and boundaries melted
On a boy’s muscle from the
Gardens of Earth, with a surplus of desire
And consuming fire
That can never be possessed
Love is the way that lovers never know
The shortest way to find love
That never turns aside and never goes
But which reminds us that
We are one flesh.
