when we give

​is an eye within time and space 

or time and space within an eye
what do our physicists descry
why are the lines poets defy

where else but here this cedar place

these cedar planks this heated air 
this dripping face I am but where

this heated room this cedar bench 

this body drench this pouring wet
its stench its push its breath its sweat 
is it just a mental mindset

​to deconstruct to meld to quench

to thirst to cinch you are aware 
I am aware I am aware

this body feels this body lives

this body knows the difference of
the pulse the flow the stasis of
this body endures beyond love

until it finally gives

and when you ask must it be fair
is this the basis for your care

or is there more to see to share
