Solly Our Love

Flesh to bone, lets solly our love
And clad our apples in green leaves.

The river that brought us together 
The milk of our breasts, yet flourishing
Shall not dry up in brimming season-

The snail wet the ground along its path,
Yet no sand follows it to its shell-

Our love shall be drunk with revelries
But our virginity shall bear no umbilical cord-

For the night preens before standing mirror
The synthesizing owls mewl their spree
And the chirping crickets tie together their wings-

So why should we not solly round bonfire
And tincture our love with ecstasy…
