"The Beggar’s Mind"
"The Beggar’s Mind"
His body’s tears, crying with unsanctified sweat
poured into her arms.
What have I to give but tears
Unbounded, empty and silent.
What have I to give?
We wrapped our two bodies, two unbroken scrolls,
into the Mind’s deep caresses there in the breeze
and we opened ourselves, offering nothing.
Grace walked away and left us unguarded,
and the breeze unwrapped us.
