Prayers From One Flesh

Behind your eyes are mysteries    
Worlds I’ll never know  
But part of my possessing    
Wants to see below
   
Is there darkness or inner light?    
What brings our lives together?    
 
In the corner of your human eye    
A tiny salty tear    
But, in your gaze no sadness    
Perhaps a little fear    
   
What mysteries fill your human self?    
What stories could you tell?    
   
We now answer distant voices    
Piercing ancient cries    
Calling us together through    
The locking of our eyes    
   
What are the needs we feel this night?    
What species brought fourth these lusts?    
 
The ancient cries possess us now    
We abandon our deepest selves    
Legs spread in kind surrender      
Opening your human well    
   
What is this space I enter now?    
Who designed such wondrous beauty?    
   
You whisper as I enter in    
Small human words you share    
I whisper back into your ear    
One flesh as if in prayer    
   
What spirits are these to whom we pray?    
Where will our journeys end?    
   
The spirit voices answer firm    
That we shall end in death    
And so we writhe and thrust our flesh    
As long as we have breath
