Falling, Fruit, Fate

These years have been
Hungry
Though I have learned to be quiet
Through careful rod and binding
Words
Make flesh
Believe me
Constant cavernous companion kept and
Catastrophic
til I was all teeth
Smile for me
Again
Once more, once more
Forever More
Has all of this falling flying been?
My aching the straining of wings?
Joyously ravenous that I
My lay here in the sun and feast
Savoring the soft and sweet with abandon
That this animal body sings
My hands made to hold and to take
From the boughs this fruit
In sacrament
Anointing lips and redeeming all primal fires
In the beauty and the beating hearts
