Hoi hoi
You post this in ‘erotic’.

If you ask me, it’s about the human condition.
Beautiful write! Yes I like it a lot!

Kind regards, Gus

Call me old-fashioned but for me rhyme is king.

Hoi hoi
There’s a beautiful (I think) song:
Tell it like it is, it is called.

And that’s just what you do in an amazing way.
Thank you!

Neves,

I really love this poem.  An early commentor (Honoria) noted the blend of images, themes and agency of nature (I assume meant in the common meaning of the world which is not human or made by humans), and the primal nature residing in human beings and its need for expression.  I risk saying something other than Honoria said or meant, but that's just conversation!  

I also wanto add that I am absolutely moved by what I see are the unique  juxtapostions, tension and longing for synthesis between qualities and things that are generally, by default, taken to be of different, even contrasting or even opposite realms fated to remain separate  (i.e., sky/stars/mysterious/unknown/home of gods and goddesses  vs. the earthbound and earth-born human flesh and bone (the spine and the feet).

So inspired to have feet (what is more earthbound and workmanlike than the human or animal foot?) calling out to its opposite -the stars!   With this image (maybe because I was primed to see sex by it's categorization as "erotic") I imagined a woman experiencing a taste of the otherworldly mystery through ecstatic orgasm, the soles of her feet to the sky while being fucked and her sounds of experiencing the divine so powerful that even her feet express the gratitude.  

And then the words of humans crashing from the heaven to earth.  As if our words were one way to move toward the divine and return in a plummet, unable to capture or describe the mysteries at all.  But I'm very curious about your use of "arrived" to describe the nature of how the "singular words" come to be present.  As if this might be their first arrival.  That our language is made out of units of divine stardust and were parceled out as gifts to us from the unknowable.  And the singular words are the building blocks by which and through which we might communicate with each other and to the heavens, something to grow closer to the divine.

Anyway... Jeez.  Listen to me.  Your sparse phrasing and arrangement has obviously really moved me.  

And I thank you deeply for that.

Jeremy.
