EVADING THE FLESH (Free verse) by daggatolar
I
How long -
We who are meat
Can we go on without the fork
To cut the flesh into
Its whole and out
To make the flesh whole
Run away we can
To do without another body's flesh
But can our body's making do without
So this leaping about the lip
.... of love mating only in words...
Can only ill the heart to mad the mind
II
And when her tears clensed his feet...
(if for fear of blasphemy,
you cannot harzard a guess
as to what happened after...
after this poem, ask the poet)
Her freedom from the pastsin on her flesh
Holied her body ready for the holy communion
And he who is most free from sin
And must not sin
Cannot deny another's body need of flesh
To go on without sin on the body
Is to sin against the holy spirit of flesh
And who is out there to forgive
If we cannot sin in meaning is not a sin
How long
we who are meat
Can we go on with the fork forever
