After their Life . . .
SINGING through sleep, even in their sleep they are singing, those passionate ones the earth shaped and has now reclaimed after their life and their intense happiness as man when they walked proudly among us
in their erect bodies and their desires massed brilliant like flowers.
From the singing womb they leapt forth, from the womb singing they marched and were fulfilled. They did not forget what the earth gave and with simple thanks for their joy they returned it when the day was due and without sorrow.
Now in the earth for a space and deep among the flowers, as in life after love they slept with their hands fallen gently across their peace and across the beloved like blossoms, they sleep once more and because of their massive joy the voice of their singing ascends for us still and ascends . . .
