I saw my own body

Stiff and dead

Under a tree.

I saw the beloved

Bend over my corpse

And breathe life

In through my mouth.

And again I was alive

Inside. I felt my lips

Loosen and shape

The vowels of desire.

I knew I would rise

And walk in the fields.

I felt love move

Through my veins,

Felt it move through

All things in the world.
