we are all lovers

it has been confirmed, that our bodies
hold no form to gravity
to push or pull by hands
that are not for holding

we stretch our skin, bending sharp
to man's cathedral skied vision
turn your head any way, but away

every heart swelled up to exceed the eyes
which were such deceptive sensory ties
and our memories of ourselves escape
our futile attempts seeking salvation
behind those pearly gates

new york city is made of lovers
the homo boys, the singing lesbians,
the husbands and wives in the grocery lines
everybody to each other
every lover
every one
we are all the most devout of lovers
when these streets will hold us up
we are all the god creators
in these endless, many, hands to hold

yesterday my body melted
in this new york city skin
and i became every woman and man
that had ever known of love
by name & by shapes of experience
I learned to live free, by sight, without eyes, that only can see
the beauty boiling just beneath
our ever so polished, numbered days

and we charged our hurricane hearts
as criminals
but kept marching forward
momentum as our lord
we were simply mistaken, with a simple
misinterpretation
of the eternal language
long lost to our illiterate souls

in flesh, fear of losing has left me
left me bare as i could ever be
and i'm letting the sun bear down upon me
a body need not look for a shield
as long as we are all here as lovers
swollen hearts should have little to fear
