Poem 85: The Man Who Lives in Rainbows
the man who lives in rainbows
wants to live with you
his body
the half circle on your earth
his hands
to your heart
his feet
to your soul
his touching
and your colours
become his colours
of bright blinding purity
his pulse
softly expanding
your rings of light
and they grow
silently, completely
as the ascendant
of a new sun
in the afternoon sky
compelling space
and counter shining
all marginal light
dissolving and absorbing
all your previous
forms and images
in the rising aspect
of your new sign
merging as the one
and many lovers
of the man who lives in rainbows.
