Nature Of Love

poets know
love is irrational

nature no respecter
of human identity

in sex
and emotion

free will
is negligible

free will
is stillborn

free will
is absent in nature

choices come
prepackaged molded

by environment
by instinct

poets know
love is irrational

moon

month

menses

same word
same world

nature-goddess Kali
creator and destroyer

grants boons
with one set of arms

cuts throats
with the other

we cannot grasp nature’s bare blade
without shedding our own blood

poets know
love is irrational

sex is that place where
morality and good intentions

fall to
primitive urges

orgasm is
domination

surrender
breaking through

point of contact
between man and nature

poets know
love is irrational

a displacement
of cosmic realities

a defense mechanism
rationalizing

forces ungoverned
ungovernable

poets know
love is irrational
