Love Letter 207 Holy China

In Your Oyster, I have found God
juggling a thousand insects of glory
wading through the jungles of intense impatience
and wandering always HOME HOME HOME, holy entrance always inviting

I have seen him
in the shadows of your cat's claw
between your cushions
in the water left by dripping icicles

I have heard her
in the Omphalos
the UnderWater
and Purring Venus overhead

What I want to know is

have you opened your couch out?
set a vase of flowers
made extra
left a key under your mat?

are your breadcrumbs fireproof
and can you
walk on water
when the One
says that you can?

Sure Sure
all is in order

We have prepared
for what none
can ever prepare

It is silly to lay out china
but do it still
show your intention
and then move on
with wearing God's name on your body
with every breath

I Love You
Your Beloved

Love Letter 206 Poison Antidote

I have a hunter's compassion
and a poison ivy temperament...
life flows in and out
and I am drowning.
you cast your nets like gravel into nutrients,
you set your watch to zero
and count down.
you look below
then jump
up,
but before I betray you
with all my works of God.
let me tell you
I am nothing
I have no pedestal
have made no vows
don't even make room for saviours in my inn
I sweep my floor with the heart of my hand
and turn proud to beggars
I sleep on a pitchfork overhanging the ocean
and one foot is draping off always
like a cocoon ready to fall.
I don't even have a hook to drag me back
if I slip in

I don't need one

You are all the anchor
I will need.
magnetized to truth, all my convictions will turn to YOU

no matter how I hone my hell

You Will Always Be There

like a bee
on a jet ski of dew
drinking in the palm flower
nesting in the lilacs

wanting Love
to be your One Defining Detail

and it is.


I am sorry for all the drama

I Love You
Your Beloved

Love Letter 205

hostile
is a word I use too much,
like holy.
I think the word I use makes a difference.
But my voice has sound
and those two words are no different
from
voice
and
sound.
those words are like ink
and
darkness;

Only Your Light
makes a difference

not my words

Holding You
I forget how to spell,
sound out vowels
chart resolution.

My knees slant down hill
my heart beams up

it makes no hostile holy difference:
When You're around
I am different
I am
I AM

I Love You
Your Beloved
