Leaves that are life



Love’s anchor, cupid, arrow 
Well what of that 
Life does not satisfy itself 
The quiet mumbling of crackling teeth, shivers running like ants down a hill
Tears you cannot name nor 
tidings you can define 
And you ask what is it that I feel? 


The body knows what body remembers 
A sudden moment of spur 
A suppresssed sigh drawn 
over large breaths 
A thunderstorm calling out your name 
A desire, a moment forgotten 
Leaves that are life 
The quite surrender of words 
between you and God 
Some incantations away from the flesh 

I can tell you what strength is made of 
It knows no language.
