What is heavy?

“The heavy sensual shoulders, the thighs, the blood-born flesh
and earth turning into color, rocks into their crystals,
water to sound, fire to form: life flickers
uncounted into the supple arms of love.”

Leave the body’s coloured pride
Underneath the grass and clover,
With the feet laid side by side.”
