when god lets my body be by E. E. Cummings
when god lets my body be
From each brave eye shall sprout a tree fruit dangles therefrom
the purpled world will dance upon Between my lips which did sing
a rose shall beget the spring that maidens whom passions wastes
will lay between their little breasts My strong fingers beneath the snow
Into strenous birds shall go my love walking in the grass
their wings will touch with their face and all the while shall my heart be
With the bulge and nuzzle of the sea
