My dream: the eagle and his
mate criss-cross across the

canyon. He has called her down
to hunt, and they cry back &

forth as they soar among the trees,
riding the wind together. I sit

on the hill behind his house
last summer, the eagle turns

above my head, across the top
of the hill, around the tree-top,

peering. So we are, body, swimming
through each other in the perfect

beauty of our love, together, and
I see you now, clean, in our

final white room, this perfect
marriage and mating of spirits

and bodies we have learned to be.
and wearing love's harness, we

are mutual in our grace and moved
to hold ourselves to love's perfect

grasp. We have made this jump
together, heart, and landed in the light.

295 Boise Bus Station / The End of the Road

A prayer for us, body : let us make
amends here, let me not be overly humble;

but a sincere apology for 3 years of
hard times, from my hard-running

fear; let us start our life today
where we have landed, both of us,

neither knowing as much as we thought,
but this love we share is as great

as the dream and it is real & strong
between us. Bring me off the road,

heart, let us bind ourselves into
this love, count our dollars into

being together. Let us make a language
to help each other in our fears,

let us husband & wive together now,
tonight in our contract for life.

but me, heart, wife, I am deeply
sorry, I have hurt you, let me

make it true, now, that I'll build
our house and raise our children

and be as much a man for you
as you have always been my woman.

Heart-song. And in some cleansing
of our bodies, mating of energies

and fantasms, arrived together through
our play; prayerful optimism, love's

bodied forth, the crazed brother recedes.
the scheme of identities makes us

brother and sister, at the bridge &
over, birthed into seeing not by

bodies only, but into love's emptiness,
and new shoes, perhaps, joining us

at trail & way. An altogether spiritual
match of love energies, ceremonial

play of acts across dreams, equations
of style and watched throughout

in pleasure's eye of scene-songs.
and here we have both left all

our children behind : as : life's will
intends us, maiden & man, to join

them in our hearts together, body,
recovering them all where they

live within us, and as we join them

Progress means the day; we open

we are turned out to another
place, it seems, and the flesh

is less intense, our baby has
taken something from between

us and left a friendship to be
rebuilt, there is bitterness to

leave behind, disappointment,
these years have diminished us.

now we are both intent, body,
on the house. Perhaps we'll

start this summer, & why not?
here where we are now try-

ing to bring it back into focus,
there is a great energy of

work & pressure in me to
mate us in habits and caring

for each other, helping these
next few days become a life.

321

Is it our nature to be so opposed
and separate : here at the front

of our achieving, our differences
are underlined, and surely, too

the depth of union can be as
severe as its disturbances. In

small matters, good fortune.
the road has brought me

home this night, there is no
love without you, body, &

as we are, here, perhaps created
out of love, us, we have our

prayers & signs. But opposed,
we must admit, around our

words & pleasures, that the
barrier is there, a mirror &

reflection of acts, mimicry of
tensions, but human. With

this in mind, I go to my job
at the rock wall, guided by

love, feeding myself this slow
recovery of love, body, home.

we fly so high together, there are

It is this mark made upon the

into each other, slipped around our
doubts, love's anchor holds the day,
