1/3/2018 Poetry by Grant GuyFalling Out of Love Falling out of love is easy When you are pushed Love expands and contracts In a battle between Our head Our heart Our genitils One talks one way Another an other way And the third It muddles everything up Falling in love is easy When you are pushed The head the heart the genitals Speak as one voice Until the head the heart the genitals Come to their senses The head The heart The genitals a breath a breath opened paths outside of herself a breath pointed the way to a wider world that could be hers yes hers & she took it not as a thing but of something beyond all of us something outside of herself us she knew it was not the earth she could take the earth owned itself but shared with her shared with her not a thing but something something ethereal & something real something inhaled with our breath the holiness of the universe holy like birth sex & death she opened herself like a coat & all things opened with her & us ![]() Bio: Grant Guy is a Winnipeg, Canada, poet, writer and playwright.
