One's immortal body


this is the day. you are the day.
 
when we first feel the closeness of warm bodies
hands open on the breathing chest
chests open on the voice  one song invents time
all future is time present and we drink one mouth 
 
when we first imagine the distance 
space ties fibers and unties the empty interval 
among and between us  the stranded things in pain
loss of language loss of muscle and bone
all past comes to liquid eyes burning times

when we first depart  and become separable points 
the untouchable living matter collapses 
silence breaks the song

we could imagine the embracing Truth beyond
among and between us the believers the creators of Language
the best word within the best song one mouth this day
there is One's immortal body loving this language explaining flesh
the day of meaning One's flesh within the foam of love 

this is the day of the best song 
and the last before boarding waving leaving 
imagine loving bodies
plunge into one and the same river heart
