sacred geometry

in the sacred geometry
that is you and me
we are flesh eaters
translucent skin
entered,

our daily repast
our hunger personified
primordial
waves crashing against cliff
and bone,
moss clings to the North
side
and we are swallowed by eternity

rivers of desire returning to the sea
speak of this,
marrow's pillow-talk,
clouds of unknowing,
wanton lust,

billowing redemption
rituals of man and woman
clinging
like temporal Gods.

Glad you can still find North

You sound so complete, it is lovely words like our daily repast our hunger personified primordial waves crashing against cliff and bone, I am enjoying the softening of both of your poetry in this last little while. I do mean it when I say thanks for sharing. Seabhac

no acute angles

in this one Anna. I just caught a glimpse of the two arum lilies as I was about to scroll down - and that's what came to me. A softer fit. One last thing: I saw the last line as "clinging to temporal gods", but that would change the meaning utterly and is not what you intended. Good stuff! Boni
