Become Perfect


My love for you is the way of dissolving, 
taught by the pollen to the bee. 
No blossom is required;
the fragrance has escaped its form. 
I am your breath, I have entered your core. 
It is you who must draw nearer now.
"How can I draw near?" you ask. 
Become perfect, accept yourself just as you are. 
This is what God does with a twig, 
and that is how it buds.
This is what God does with a bud
and that is how it bursts.
Why do a mother's nipples flow with milk?
Because, in the thirst of her baby,
she sees her own divinity.
