Wondrous terrible love
Pulling us apart and putting us together
The gods have given us to play with
Like children with fire
Why put us in an orchard
And not pick the fruit
It took courage to defy them
But love came first
The juice on the lips
Our overriding desire the flesh
Of being human
So now the only way those gods
Who loved and then abandoned us
Can get back into this world
Is if we could learn to love them again
