New Faces

I have leared npt to worry about love;

but to honor its coming

with all my heart .

To examine the dark mysteries

of the blood

with headless heed and swirl,

to know the rush of feelings

swift and flowing

as water.

The source appears to be

some inexhaustible spring

within our twin and triple selves;

the new face i turn up to you

no one else on earth has ever seen

~Alice Walker
