I want to talk to them about your eyes.
for these cavities
that have haunted me
Let me tell them about your hands.
where avenues are convenient
and they widen and open up
so that I can fit in
when my step narrows
Let me tell them about your mouth.
this swimming pool
that I am rebaptized pure and innocent
and seals the sanctuary
only in our own language
Tell them about your body
where there is sea and sky
and I dance inside it
I want to talk to them.
Let me tell them about you.
that you are rare and precious
day and night and breath of soul
but they won't understand
And I will never be able to
to show them God
that lives within you
*Everyone who comes
