    in summer, and love, but underneath is rock./
    Older than flowers, older than ferns, older than foraminiferae,/
    older than plasm altogether is the soul underneath./
    And when, throughout all the wild chaos of love/
    slowly a gem forms, in the ancient, once-more-molten rocks/
    of two human hearts, two ancient rocks,/
    a man's heart and a woman's,/
    that is the crystal of peace, the slow hard jewel of trust,/
    the sapphire of fidelity./
    The gem of mutual peace emerging from the wild chaos of love.

    exiles from delight/
    live coiled in shells of loneliness/
    until love leaves its high holy temple/
    and comes into our sight
    to liberate us into life.

    Love arrives/
    and in its train come ecstasies/
    old memories of pleasure/
    ancient histories of pain./
    Yet if we are bold,/
    love strikes away the chains of fear/
    from our souls./

    We are weaned from our timidity/
    In the flush of love's light/
    we dare be brave/
    And suddenly we see/
    that love costs all we are/
    and will ever be./
    Yet it is only love/
    which sets us free. ]]>     2022-02-25 10:33:18 UTC https://padlet.com/tokun/k8t2ff0ucld3rhzf/wish/2066162692     The Set-Up: tokun https://padlet.com/tokun/k8t2ff0ucld3rhzf/wish/2066162693 Based on only the title and author of the poem, what do you think this poem might be about?

    We are the mirror as well as the face in it./
    We are tasting the taste this minute/
    of eternity. We are pain/
    and what cures pain, both. We are/
    the sweet cold water and the jar that pours./
    I want to hold you close like a lute, so we can cry out with loving./
    You would rather throw stones at a mirror?/
    I am your mirror, and here are the stones.

     now cools like a congealing chop./
     The kisses that were hot as curry/
      are bird-pecks taken in a hurry./
     The hands that held electric charges/
    now lie inert as four moored barges./
    The feet that ran to meet a date/
     are running slow and running late./
    The eyes that shone and seldom shut/
    are victims of a power cut./
    The parts that then transmitted joy/
    are now reserved and cold and coy./
    Romance, expected once to stay,/
    has left a note saying gone away.
