“do you know what i was, how i lived? you know
what despair is; then
winter should have meaning for you.
i did not expect to survive,
earth suppressing me. i didn’t expect
to waken again, to feel
in damp earth my body
able to respond again, remembering
after so long how to open again
in the cold light
of earliest spring—
afraid, yes, but among you again
crying yes risk joy
in the raw wind of the new world.”

i presume that the feeling: the same rolling around inside at the sight of your face; the girl i met hunting, with long black hair and amber eyes, who’s smile is beauty, and who’s laugh trickles down, like a key to myself; her legs thrust me back and her lips draw me in, her kiss like a drug and so i swear i’ll never be the same as when i met her,
is the same that jesus felt, since before time began, still the moment when he stood by the road, facing the crowds that followed, and mourned. “like sheep with no shepherd, they go from here to there.” and more until infinity when he was laid against that cross, his bloody limbs pinned, heaving and naked and covered with flesh imbedded with rocks and ridden with a sickening crown: an interwoven nightmare of thorns, whose glint would mock any needle, its teeth sticking into the skull and piercing the mind of this man. “it was for the joy set before me.” he breathed.
his desire was for them, every part of the body… perfect.
just like you.
