Love Poem: Divisions of Being

Divisions of Being

Love is thought
needing a subject 
and predicate

lover and object
blossom and voyeur
dreaming fond connections,
often crossing taboos 
of distance…
exchanging scents and feel,
the bow, rudder and keel
of relationship

Yet, that mystery remains

the lone whale basking
seeming above the ripples

the albatross on a still night
soaring on unseen current

a collapsed sail undisturbed
by bleeding sunlight

which will I be today?

God or His Man?
