: yes, yes, that's what I wanted,
: I always wanted, I always wanted,
: to return to the body where I was born.

: I found the original poem at this site:

: Thanks in advance.

: The warm bodies shine together in the darkness,
: the hand moves to the center of the flesh,
: the skin trembles in happiness
: and the soul comes joyful to the eye--
