"Go with the one who loves you biblically.
The one whose love lifts its head to you
despite its broken neck. Whose body
bursts sixteen arms electric
to carry you, gentle
the way old grief is gentle.
Love the love that is messy
in all its too much. The body
that rides best your body, whose mouth
saddles the naked salt of your far-gone hips,
whose tongue translates the rock language
of all your elegant scars."
