THE ELEMENTS
(for
Andrew)
Listen:
Your Mind of
Air
Is a
Whirlwind
Lifting many
things
Into the spiral
dance.
Your Heart of
Fire
Is a
Rose
With flaming
petals
That are never
consumed.
Your Skin of
Water
Is a still
pond
Waiting to
ripple
At the touch of a trembling
hand.
Your Body of
Earth
Is the Beloved of
Death
And one day
soon
You will lie down
together
Embrace and enter one
another
To make all these elements
anew.
