As Simple as Soap
I have tried to balance you
Against the weights of the world
To count you like change
Amid the clutter of my pockets
To fit you within the rows and columns of the daily crossword
To read you like a box score at the bottom of the screen
To find you in prayers, behind altars
Between bookmarked pages
But I do not love you within the world
I love you before it
There is you
And there is the world
My love makes God a verb
You god me, I god you, We god Us
It is that simple
Your love remakes me a greater I am
Ours was my Beginning
Is Now and ever shall Be
And all else tumbles out after
Amen
My love drills happy holes through my body
Places for you to slide, caught and wanting
And if there are holes left behind
I guard them like holy places
And float lighter than tracing paper past the Gallery of Masters
This is ease
This is breath
This is what dreams come to
Love as simple as soap
I wash off all unwanted complications
When your mouth opens
Into mine
Against the weights of the world
To count you like change
Amid the clutter of my pockets
To fit you within the rows and columns of the daily crossword
To read you like a box score at the bottom of the screen
To find you in prayers, behind altars
Between bookmarked pages
But I do not love you within the world
I love you before it
There is you
And there is the world
My love makes God a verb
You god me, I god you, We god Us
It is that simple
Your love remakes me a greater I am
Ours was my Beginning
Is Now and ever shall Be
And all else tumbles out after
Amen
My love drills happy holes through my body
Places for you to slide, caught and wanting
And if there are holes left behind
I guard them like holy places
And float lighter than tracing paper past the Gallery of Masters
This is ease
This is breath
This is what dreams come to
Love as simple as soap
I wash off all unwanted complications
When your mouth opens
Into mine
