Blood and Mind
Blood and Mind
Love fills me with blood.
Bodiless love fills me with blood,
with remembering love, with you,
remembering together or alone in your arms,
reliving and living love at once.
With you my blood has changed its ways.
My mind has changed.
My blood crests with pity
at something you say.
I tumble in the rollers of the sad thing you say
and you can’t see.
I’m in love with pity and myself
which is to say you.
My mind swells to relive our fall.
I find little hills so we can fall.
I pity the memory of love.
The years are changing my blood.
The years are changing my mind
like a mountain.
Our love is hidden
like time in a mountain.
Like the ways of blood and mind
my love is hidden even from me.
Our love is moving like a mountain’s shadow.
My will is like the shadow of something
I can’t see.
Our minds have changed, my love.
The years change my mind,
my mind the years,
and I love our strange, vivid love
in the shadow of our love.
