Erotophobic Occasion

It was a heavy rain
and the water touched everything;
the moon swims in those dark waters
In the luminous moonlight,
the withered fields
- the memories of love
Erotophobic occasions for sin
abound in the discarnate world
of cyber imaginings
The image of flesh on flesh
taunts young men
an endless array of I It relations
whose contrivance
dims the dance of sunlight across living
(No)
It was in this wasteland of loving
that I kissed his mouth,
invited him into the solitude of my heart,
that secret place
of darkness
For it is in darkness that the unknowing happens:
Rapture comes quick, without warning, irresistible
a violent shock,
a tumbling waterfall,
a bird soaring up
into the heavens
bearing you with it,
a bed sheet blown off the clothesline
carried here and there
with no will to resist
I kissed his mouth
And everything unknew
puts us to blush
in the grace by
which I desired him
Interior yearnings left me,
not in grief,
but in tenderness
remaking the world
Unmaking thingness
In love
I invited him wholly
and without hesitation.
In dark night's obscurity
the material husk was shucked off,
the kernel
a hidden moon in a cup of longing
was revealed
this place divine and imperishable
It was in this wasteland of loving
that I kissed his mouth,
invited him into the solitude of my heart,
that secret place
of darkness
For it is in darkness that the unknowing happens:
Rapture comes quick, without warning, irresistible
a violent shock,
a tumbling waterfall,
a bird soaring up
into the heavens
bearing you with it,
a bed sheet blown off the clothesline
carried here and there
with no will to resist
I kissed his mouth
And everything unknew
My tongue went weak
no word came from it
and my body as well
subtle joy spread across and through and in
and of consuming knowledge,
opinion, judgment, popular concensus
Love reborn grew brave and laid back
on the bed of no-thingness,
his body all starlight and birdsong
I parted his hair,
pressed lips to his cheek
(yes)
It was a heavy rain
and the water touched everything
The moon swims in those dark waters
