Helpless and Fond, the Wolf and Lamb
Helpless and fond, the wolf and lamb Each a recipient, to each germinal Rivet together while great empires fall And shoot new empires in each other's name. For one is Love and one is Bitter Shame Or Hatred. Each, forever conjugal, Forever balanced to the other's scale Impregnates snow and scatters seed in flame. Of them is God, resolved to unity- The planets' cavern, the structured flesh of stars, The final flesh, the last stockade, the bone Golden and spherical. Only His boundary Delimits Love. Only His bars Decree the depth to which His Self is sown.
