UNDENIED
Which one is stronger? Whose heart is fonder?
They asked of he and she, as if one was less to be
They danced without reply,
through those lands of seek and slaughter
As if they sailed on water
No rage within their lungs, no envy on their tongues
They spun like sheets in wind, past the barbed and baiting ones
Past the fall
Past the moods
And the feuds of what may come
They danced their whole life through ―
through those burning burning guns
Always those will ask, such questions wished unasked
Always those will mask such simple love unmasked
Like hollow birds and deer, we are made with fear inside
That fear it turns unwise, when it leaches past our pride
And it blackens our bright skies
But that fear is lovely hushed when it's ever unreplied
Sweep away the soiled will, and the poison thus implied
Sweep away the cold cruel world
And its tangled spool aside
See the earth through their blind guise, ghostly, hidden,
veiled from their kind eyes
As one they circled round a stage they fortified
A bird, a deer, a tree they simplified
A bird
A bride
Two shadows undenied
