For The Poems

Every hair upon your head
Spirals from one point
Like this is where you started
When you entered from the void

Fine hair on your body
Falls perfectly in line
Like someone sent you spinning
As the lines of you conjoined

Like two opposing rivers
Meeting in the drums
Coiling round the other
Like two becoming one

I asked for a wild one
To keep the days long
To have me running
For the poems

Who never tires
Defies confinement
Has all the wildness
Of a tempest

And never learns to be ashamed
Keeps her whole heart full of flames
Doesn't let herself be tamed
Isn't scared to seem insane

And knows her violence
But doesn't mind it
And doesn't need it
'Cause she's a pascifist

In a world that's found its way
And is better than today
And isn't scared to be okay
Is okay
Like today

With tiny hands like a dancer
And the arms of the milkyway
On another revolution
With the cosmos for a brain for a cosmos

Coiling round the other
Meeting in the drums
Like two opposing rivers
Like two becoming one

I asked for a wild one
To keep the days long
To have me running
For the poems

Who never tires
Defies confinement
Has all the wildness
Of a tempest

That never learns to be ashamed
Keeps her whole heart full of flames
Doesn't let herself be tamed
Isn't scared to seem insane

Knows her violence
And doesn't mind it
But doesn't need it
'Cause she's a pascifist

In a world that found its way
And is better than today
Isn't scared to be okay
Is okay
Like today
