I sing the body electric,
The armies of those I love engirth me and I engirth them,
They will not let me off till I go with them, respond to them,

“There’s never a dull moment in the human body
”                                           —The Insight
Dear old equivocal and closest friend,
Grand Vizier to a weak bewildered king,

In anguish of my heart replete with woes,
And wasting pains, which best my body knows,
In tossing slumbers on my wakeful bed,
Bedrenched with tears that flowed from mournful head,

When roaring gloom surged inward and you cried, Groping for friendly hands, and clutched, and died, Like racing smoke, swift from your lolling head phantoms of thought and memory thinned and fled
Yet, though my dreams that throng the darkened...

Every night Thou freest our spirits from the
And its snare, making them pure as rased tablets
Every night spirits are released from this cage,
And set free, neither lording it nor lorded over
