there is only one law: love
as sun kisses the first cupola~love~once at the gateway~love~once on
the cheek, alleviating the eyes~love! Greet me, greet your child home
Welcome matte grass pull your soft hands about my calves leave
my battered hat upon the rocks leave my hair to comb the river
Leave, lead my mother alone~forgive her~find the lit part of her soul
Cavernous lull Gold galactic arms surround me Let me swarm your
nucleus let me find the starbirth...
as sun strokes the prominence of shore~love~rosy more~love~sweet
moist garden where the guelder blooms~love!
My lips warm the second cupola feet sinking in yielding white sand
fingertips sinking on yielding white flesh, hear the air near the
garden purr, caress the bud to open her Dash! the thick foam of the
sea finds her purlescent bead so much smaller, but bows in honour...
Jus gentium!
as the festival approaches sweets are brought from the village, laid
in baskets, petals strewn about buried caskets A bird of good omen
turns above~ love~ he brings hopes of hotter seas, emerald please!
with blue on the far earth paint this into a late age Sciences,
alliances, sips to fair prose's defiances Hugging up a girl
Pointing out the arms' curl through the telescope lens Pondering
what else, and when and how The heavens spin in my cerebrum and
sleep, sleep aloft affixed to Wonder I don't dare compare I don't
dare
But am glad to be under...
Jus gentium.
Respect of the elder to the younger, jus gentium.
Respect of the younger to the elder, jus gentium.
Respect of the man to his lover, jus gentium.
Respect of the greater to the other, Just gentium.
why must i wake to an unjust world?
