Devotion
What if common sense isn’t what we are made for?
What if we are made to live- and to love- extravagantly
With our whole hearts, our whole bodies, our whole minds?
What if the Love Dogs are howling for connection
And your breasts are like clusters
Of grapes on the vine- and Kama
Is the Word of God made flesh?
Rati summons me to her side; I have no resistance.
I ache with the thought of you tonight-
Falling into a sweetness
I have only begun to trust
Is this what they mean by transcendence?
The opening of the bud
The swelling of the rose
The wet and thorny vine?
Who are we to hide this flowering
Behind a wall?
Give in! Fall down laughing.
Surrender everything you are to this life.
