At the October Gallery
the Laurie Josephs sculptures
People flooded the room
people from all the world, and of all time
Such a party, such extraordinary wit
when human beauty spoke
Such an athletic gathering of men
and women, as the very bodies laughed
Such sunshine spoke in wood
I saw the mystic centre, planet’s core
was joyous. Eyes and knuckles, backs and breasts and legs
I saw then what we are
