i will wade out

i will wade out
till my thighs are steeped in burning flowers
I will take the sun in my mouth
and leap into the ripe air
Alive
with closed eyes
to dash against darkness….
till my thighs are steeped in burning flowers
I will take the sun in my mouth
and leap into the ripe air
Alive
with closed eyes
to dash against darkness….
…I will rise
After a thousand years
lipping
flowers
And set my teeth in the silver of the moon
After a thousand years
lipping
flowers
And set my teeth in the silver of the moon
from I Will Wade Out by e e cummings
… even so, this moment is precious, as the Sun weaves between Jupiter and Neptune in Pisces — music, melody, compassion — a once-in-a-lifetime week. While a threnody is composed, somewhere a love song is sung.
