The human body is a scale.
Its daily dance is the measure of Creation,
the level of limitation.
Therefore the body hungers for touch
in order to increase its measure,
though every touch overbalances the scales.
So the soul is teased to life and to hunger
for the hand of God to reach out,
reach in and balance the scales,
once, twice and forever.
