who thinks of spirit

when the taste of flesh

is in the mouth

of the hungry?


who thinks of flesh

when age separates desire

and satisfaction as spirit

takes its imprint of this body?


you will go out

as you came in


who thinks it otherwise

who hasn't known

the depths of despair

or the heights of joy?
