The Bone Collector
Love, is earthed in these ways:
the burial of bones
the planting of seeds
the raising of a child
And here, everything has
a beginning and an end.
Here, skin incarnates skin
and disembodies spirit
we make the myths
and birth the gods
to suckle like infants at the
teat of longing and despair.
Human are the myths we weave,
out of bone and out of blood.
