Strange Love

(for snow leopard)

could i return
your (powerful) Love?

sky and sea
exchange places
horizons dissolve into infinity

you Love like a man
but i am man – this love is strange
unsettling
but
addictive

Pan dances and
pipes (his) radical
sensuality

satyrs
lose themselves
swirling in
wild abandon

is your Love Pan’s revenge
for lapses into
the mundane,
for occasionally
deferring to cultural conformity?

with your light Lucifer avenge

advance refrain
insatiate

seas condense into
droplets of sweat
on our bellies
oceans form
tiny navel lakes

what are Gods and conventions
but men's creation

locked in
sexual embrace
we expand and consume entire
worlds …

(trans)form/ing

leave convention
to undertakers, conservatives

moaning
swirling

unite the irreconcilable;
what relevance
gender behaviours?

Love me …

let it go
accept what i have
to give
do not resist

let me
Love you ...
