829 Gotta Love Lust 5-4-19

Posted on May 5, 2019 by Ken Greenman

Be ye not leary of lust.
Lust is loves kindling.

See two compainonable logs,
split so to rest together
in the fire place,
nursing simmering embers,
needing only a toss
of shavings and twigs
to ignite the flames again.

Be glad for lust,
for soon,
too soon,
all cools,
hearts hearth-stone’s swept clean,
cold ashes dumped from the skuttle.

and we burn
no more.
