I said let’s not, we could hurt each other.
Isn’t it better, sometimes, to enjoy the fragrance of the blossom than to eat the flower?

What is it in us that wants to take
whatever has ascended to the heights of spirit
& pull it down into the mud to wallow with us
in our own, holy humanness?
As if we needed to assure ourselves that this is enough,
this realm of rock & stream & dust
to which we belong a little while
before we bequeath our atoms to the wind.
