Strange Dichotomy

We are hearth and fire, earth and stone

We are sea and shore, he and I

Together as ever, as ever alone

We are toil and harvest, sow and reap

We are hunger and plenty, he and I

We ruin together, together we keep

He presses himself into me

We meet in strange dichotomy

A wicked and fierce biology

I open and welcome him into me

We are birth and living, life and death

We are beginning and end, he and I

Forever breathless, ceaseless breath

We are hearth and fire, earth and stone

Hunger and plenty, beginning and end

We are sea and shore, he and I

Together as ever,  as ever alone
