I would love you if you were dead
but you are not dead you are alive
you body ringing in me, ringing true
ringing true, not like a blue nerve net
encased in glass
not a red rubber heart encased in glass
not a burned out body encased in glass
but a real thing,a soft thing
a soft and wild thing
i am so glad i left the world
and found the wildness beyond in you
i am so glad i was brave enough
to leave the place in me that was not wild
to go into the cave of life that is not dead.
