If it’s only flesh and only bone It’s only rock and only stone For what lies within   beneath the skin Are futile dormant veins alone. But that blood inside Blue blood red tide Even on black days Flowing both ways White lies pour outside.   Exist dear body exist With a clenched fist And a banana smile Lifting each day a pile Of life and hazy mist. Hard jumbled jungles grow   Faster than the flow Of blood in my binds And ideas of minds And brows of dawn open slow. Glass mingles with skies And faint-hearted sighs   Mere structures no soul Empty bellies cajole Tall twinkles blind tiny eyes.   It’s rock and stone Dead yet overgrown But with art beside   That restores pride To a higher sense unknown.   My gratitude to art For filling spaces from start For blood in stone And soul in bone That paint each waning heart.
