We Break the Law Together
We break the law together for the sake
Of beauty. Beauty turns our sin to love.
The love is sacred and is full of ache
And space, yes constellations far above
Mere moons and decalogues. We break the law
Because the body and the soul both know
That ecstasy in lawless lust is awe.
The truth is higher than the source of snow.
Decrees are well enough for others yet
A blizzard is a thankless thing. The fur
In front of hearth and burning log brings sweat
To rites. The thrill and agony concur.
The law was made to force our winning through.
Our love demands a lawlessness, a coup.
