understanding (n.)

well, we're bound to that,
in truth. But while
there's time I want to write I'm glad
to be alive in the same world as you,
here where
there's, yes, a wisdom in the inward parts,
where something mesenteric loosely binds us,
where you, as words are bound to tell,
have given understanding to my heart.

~ Phillip Booth, 1990
