(revised from an earlier version)
there are no answers; only instruments a butterfly, a tango, an empty glass a river, scandalous and electric summoning the voice of god under a wild oak tree every pleasure has a reason every body tears itself apart: to be sacred, and then die again as the best of rebels and women in love, cross-legged and getting lucky in the dark the geography of being, a disinterested sweater a prophecy of hands and mouth these syllables are short this violence, orgasmic it is only the taste that remains at twilight freely feeding June

Love the artwork! And your poem is excellent..”a river, scandalous and electric summoning the voice of god
under a wild oak tree”..standing on the shore of a river is both stimulating as well as calming to me..this line definitely captures that feeling for me. Well done.

Thank you so much, my friend. I love the artwork, too–it’s a favorite of mine from that artist. And I’m happy you enjoyed the poem. When I revised it, I replaced the phrase “my body” with “a river”. There didn’t seem to be much of a difference.
