There is some kiss we want with our whole lives, the touch of spirit on the body. Seawater begs the pearl to break its shell. At night I open my window and ask the moon to press its face against mine. Breathe into me. Close the language-door and open the love-window. The moon wont use the door, only the window.

and also your shadow

My soul is screaming in ecstacy
Every fiber of my being
is in love with you

Your efflugence
has lit a fire in my heart
for me
the earth and sky

My arrow of love
has arrived at the target
I am in the house of mercy
and my heart
