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 againAnd my heart will beat back strongerAs 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.
