Those they only use, tie, bind, chop off and leave empty. Love your hands! Love them. Raise them up and kiss them.

What you put into it to nourish your body they will snatch away and give you leavins instead. No, they don't love your mouth. You got to love it. This is flesh I'm talking about here. Flesh that needs to be loved. Feet that need to rest and to dance; backs that need support; shoulders that need arms, strong arms I'm telling you.

More than your life-holding womb and your life-giving private parts, hear me now, love your heart. For this is the prize.
