Unable to bear br the uncertainty br of the future, br we consulted seers, br mediums, stock market gurus, br psychics who promised br happiness on this br or another planet, br astrologists of love, br seekers of the Holy Grail. br br Looking for certainty br we asked for promises, br lover's knots, pledges, rings, br certificates, deeds of ownership, br when it was always enough br to let your hand br pass over my body, br your eyes find the depths of my own, br and the wind pass over our faces br as it will pass br through our bones, br sooner than we think. br br The current is love, br is poetry, br the blood beat br in the thighs, br the electrical charge br in the brain. br br Our long leap br into the unknown br began nearly br a half century ago br and is almost br over. br br I think of the br amphorae of stored honey br at Paestum br far out-lasting br their Grecian eaters, br or of the furniture br in a pharoah's tomb br on which br no one sits. br br Trust the wind, br my lover, br and the water. br br They have the br answers br to all your questions br br and mine.
