Reincarnation

         

                Reincarnation

The spirit wishes it could look back to

Its body, not the rotted one, and see

The firm young form with hair and holy blue

Of Mary’s robe in clear young eyes still free

Of intimations of their death.  The hair,

The blond head hair and darker swerving hairs

Upon the body, on the hairy pair

Of nipples, and in armpits, thick like tares

Along the wayside, and in secret parts

Are what the spirit wants to see again.

It wants to feel the prickling penis smarts

In climax.  Maleness wants to be again.

..They’re might be other parts the spirit wants

….To view.  But first it needs what maleness vaunts.
