Song of Silence
Your silence has begun to sing to me again
in the voice of my old poem, “To Love Pain”:
“I can lose You again and again / And my heart will beat back stronger / As it is lashed by the whip of Your absence.”
I did not recognize You in April:
I mistook You for a young lover
come to swim in my eyes, touch my lips,
and part the warm sea flesh that opens for lovers.
And I slid down and down into that primal ooze
that has kept me hide-bound.
But now that You have hidden that body of mud
and have silenced his voice that lured my lust,
I see Your body of light dancing
on rivers of words meandering through my soul.
I hear Your astral singing
in every silver syllable of pure vibration.
O Divine Singer, I come to You alone
to sing my song and to devote
every last ounce of flesh and bone.
