we love this body

from: we love this body

We love this body as we love the day we first met the person

who led us away from this world;

as we love the gift we gave one morning on impulse,

in a fraction of a second,

that we still see every day;

as we love the human face, fresh after love-making,

more full of joy than a wagonload of hay.


Robert Bly
