Yes, the physicality of language. The tongue married to the heart, and emotions defined by flesh.
Yusef Komunyakaa : BOMB 65, 1998
When Death Comes
…When it’s over, I want to say: all my life
I was a bride married to amazement.
I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.
When it is over, I don’t want to wonder
if I have made of my life something particular, and real.
I don’t want to find myself sighing and frightened,
or full of argument.
I don’t want to end up simply having visited this world.
Mary Oliver
