I like this one for the different way sit can be taken. Most people know where it "counts" sexually, and that playfulness is in here, but the Heart counts too. Sometimes people have a sense of "my heart" or an individual feeling, but there are also those times when we feel something bigger. That feeling means more to me than sex or my individual feelings, but it doesn't exclude those! We end up thinking and talking mostly when we are trying to figure out how to include that world-deep bigness or love.
I talk philosophy
only where
it's abused.
If things were otherwise,
why structure the Heart?
That doesn't work anyway.
Broken methods
only apply
in broken places.
How could it be otherwise?
We carry on making sense
instead of what we really want.
Let's not pretend to understand.
Just touch me
where you know it counts.
Don't pull back
if my lips begin
to show you
where you really are.
