my ageless earth
let me be your
epheremal
earthworm
and burrow
till nibbana
my fecund valley
let me be your
ocher shrub
and seep in
your essnce
let me
blossom
burst
manifold
as you
guide
yield
fulfil
let me be
born in you
beyond
forever
yes
love
needs
a body
a voice
a phallus
a sky
us
it
transcends
beyond
transparency
permeates
beyond
permanence
binds us
in blessed
synchrony
of soma
psyche
self
pluck me from
h y p e r s i l e n c e
as I suckle on life force i like this stanza a lot it stands out as more solid now that you brought the lines together.
so lets curl in
our womb
and float
till
nonbeing
i have to say i prefer the original at present though i'm glad the ing words have gone. the last stanza of the edit feels like a 60's chat up line
it's great to see people here who can take feedback properly

sorry i couldn't be more positive with the edit
