The Body a Tree

The body a tree,
God a wind.
When He moves me
like this, like this,

angels bump heads with each other
gathering beneath my cheeks,

holding their wine barrels,
catching the brilliant tear,
pearl rain.

Love, a tree.  
When it moves us like this,
How can our soul's limbs not touch?
