I am aware of the risks,
radically bound to a shared ethos,
tapping into a collective consciousness,
as sane as can be in these torturous times,
with only a rather loose definition
of my own personal safety,
as I enthusiastically consent
to let go.

I summon the divine history
of humans who use pain as spark,
pleasure as tinder,
soul and spirit as wood,
and I enthusiastically consent
to be filled.

Share with me your burdens
and load them upon my back.
I will not break
for I am your elephant,
strong and leathered,
as I enthusiastically consent
to remember.
