As You Would Have It

...Could it Be other than as it Is?

...As you would have it, is how you'll

have it...the very form of your have

and have not--split down the middle

of prayerful hands.

The opening and closing of eyes 

survived by the peregrination of a 

body...as you would have it...as you'll

have it.

A remembrance undone with every

blessed motion...cautioning the mind

not to keep pace, not to intellectualize

such a motioning.

Alas...it would be quite difficult to

intellectualize the anatomical function

of the body twenty-four hours a day...

would it not?

Grace set against its only backdrop...

a haiku that refuses the trappings of a

novel.

The tongue would love nothing more than 

to rifle forth its last article of clothing...

that the pornographic face may cease to

be so.

To token with the blaze of its redemptive

commonplace...and utter such words...

as you would have it...as you'll have it!

~ wow... 'tis a very compelling piece of poetry, Sire... i'm not sure if i'm reading this piece right... but i think this means... that we only see things the way we want to see them... perhaps life lies in the eyes of the beholder... perhaps some people simply cannot see past their cynicism or judgmental mindset...
