Earth Matter

Naked
As stone

Man is

slender
As tree root

He dreams
The language of rain

A flock
Of startled thighs

Earth

And women is

She dreams

Is moonrise
And sunlight.

Slender
As treeroot

He discovers
The whisper of star.

She is

As universe
And word is

Slender
As tree root

He unravels

The sacrament
Of light.

She is

As eucharist
And mouth is.

Slender
As tree root

He shatters the secret of sky,

And there is paece,

And there is silence,

And nothing,
         is
