FIRST CYCLE OF LOVE POEMS: 3, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: The kiss is maypole where my seven
Last Line: With love again.
Subject(s): God


The kiss is maypole where my seven
Happiest sins truss me to the rod:
The lightning cracks my face of heaven
When he leans down, when he leans down like a diver
Out of his breast's cloud.

The flammenwerfer and the fish
And also I acknowledge him creator.
Between his horizon of arms measures my wish,
My mirage of marriage that, one moment later,
Comes true in a flash.

O at your work you patient hundred thousand
With the hammer, the hour and the pen,
His harder labour is love. He has emblazoned
Everything, overnight everything has blossomed
With Love again.
