I Want to Take You
I want to lift you back before the start
Of everything. I want to knock you back
Before God spoke, before there was a heart,
To that eternity when light was slack
And waited breathlessly like Adam in
The dust. I want to take you back before
The land and waves divided in that sin
Of separation, need to be your whore
In Plato’s Realm of Ideal Things and do
Things to your body that are so beyond
Thrills, shudders, and exhilaration you
Will know that only love can correspond.
..No. I need to take you back before First Love.
….I want to take you higher than above.
