My body is the veil

Between the web that is my mind

And my heart that shouts in the distance.

For every pulse that runs through my essence

There is mind to weight it

And heart to detonate it

And for every small idea

My mind and my heart

Ask and ask

Look and look

For where it is that the spark is born

And how to bear it in the world.

Your body’s an avatar

Of all the thoughts I’ll never see

Of dreams and fears and words

That the body will not allow to tell me.

And when your body tells me

Only a small fraction of things you want to share

Mine will hear just a part

For all it really wants to hear

It will create itself.
