All watch blindly because all are blind, Mixing in a bitter ditch, while hands and eyes Bolt new brains on a body tamed Out of all unnatural instinct at last 5 Until all stand, skin to skin, with all who stand Ecstatic round one plate, honey-filled, Like some dark-bodied community of bees. Like some dark-bodied community of bees All turn to that one vast image hung 10 Forever sweet in an abstract sky: Riotous selflove perfected to a stone Until no man is shaken with a hate, Or cold eventuality of death--- Adam and Eve out of one stone struck. 15 Adam and Eve out of one stone struck; Interrupted churn of heads, or worse, Confused there, welded in the air, as if once Fury of the sexual onslaught begun, No deliberate loveliness 20 Could its purpose or pleasure deride: All watch blindly because all are blind.
