Is horniness the unintended consequence of divinity?

Ngl I gotta think about this one

[alitvessel]

Oh, I have made myself a tribe out of my true affections, and my tribe is scattered! How shall the heart be reconciled to its feast of losses?

In a rising wind the manic dust of my friends, those who fell along the way, bitterly stings my face.

Yet I turn, I turn, exulting somewhat, with my will intact to go wherever I need to go, and every stone on the road precious to me.

Stanley Kunitz, "The Layers" (excerpt)
