60. Fair exchange
Your tears convinces me of your sincerity,
for tears are evidence of pure humanity,
tears can not lie, nor grief, nor pain, nor suffering,
but is the bareness of the soul in helpless nakedness,
which must be taken care of, comforted and loved
if, for nothing else, then just for being there a living soul
of bleeding openness and vulnerable to exposure.
Take my own soul in return, for keeping
and safeguarding in your heart like I keep thine,
and let us thus exchange our lives instead of rings
and keep them safely locked up in each other
like a secret closed to human ignorance and baseness
but forever free to anyone that cares
for universal and eternal good investigation.
