ith your love's small hands
a spirit is rebuilt,
bedrock
to cloud-crowned summit
the royal earth rises,
fountains up,
spills over, climbs
the ladder of itself -
an upscape;
an outscape -
a mountain fills
a void upon the earth.

Your love's small hands
seduce the dust,
the honored soil blooms,
ripe worlds
flash into cosmic being,
with a burst of touch
planets plume:
you snare the breath
of the universe.

Star -
full organic star
of love,
I am reissued
by the light
of your palms:
from grain to cosmos,
I am expansive,
immortal,
entire,
peerless
as a god -
peerless
as the first who knew
the whole of love,
the birth of love,
the joy of life
before it existed.
