‘There was a time when I slept with ‘high class’ and expensive prostitutes and loved their beauty

 

and the excitement and pleasure that surrounded our occasions together.

 

 

But often, I felt that I could not give enough to them.

 

And, for this reason I often felt unsatisfied

 

and came to ask this question-

 

of myself:

 

                                                                                                                                                        

 

 

 

What baptism do you bring?

 

 

Only a saint can lie with these beautiful ladies

 

For when the bodies limit is come

 

then what good news

 

what baptism do you bring?

 

 

When the question of their own gift has come

 

when their striving is considered

 

What star can you bequeath

 

 

for a guide?

 

 

You talk of the limit of all flesh

 

But do you live and breathe spirit?

 

 

Your books and knowledge are useless

 

Speak with your body in light

 

 

And if you cannot . . .

 

What baptism do you bring?
