hurrah! to be a gentle

Hurrah! to be a gentle, oozing thing,
a chalice brimming with wine.

Hurrah! to be a lion and a frog,
a priestess and a poet.

Hurrah! To philosophize this way,
and to exist also at the want of thought

as the stillness this body carries. 
And within the body:

sensation of mushroom, 
melon, water, grass.

Most sensual of all your spells on my ear:
I wish to be your holy bounty. 

In the name of the bird and the beetle
And the bee, 

Amen.
