In Man
 

 

                                                                        In man

            there is the heavy

            nature of dead stone

         in man and in

            woman but also

            sunlike

            the ecumenicity

            of androgyne

            form

            both self-

            sacrificing

            receptivity

 
 


            and lighter

            (light-

            giving) activity

            the heavy

            heavy stone

            seeking to become

            crystal

            crystalline, crystal

            izing

            also seeking (the

            stone, the

            heavy nature) the

            moist

            androgynous moist

            of morning

            dew and vapor

            mouth of waters

            spilling

            over the stone the heavy

            heavy stone

            until the stone

            becomes worn

            and blithe, andro

            morphing

            into something almost

            human

            the woman/man

            perplexed in its very

            nature

            by the stone and the spilling

            mouth of waters

            seeking its nature in the form

            (sunlike) self-impregnate, light-giving

            receptivity.
