He's totally talking about a transcendental experience. That's what the sex becomes for him, for a moment, a religious experience and one that heals and gives forgiveness. That moment is so beautiful, and yet so fragile and transient - light as a breeze in fact.
At one level it is pure sex. And oral sex at that.. I knelt there at the delta.. the alpha (the beginning - where conception happens) and the omega (the end, when the baby's born). the cradle of the river (menstrual flow) and the sea (well, modesty forbids me to comment here..), You can see it, you can taste it.. you can drink it or you can nurse it..

At another level, it is clear he is worshipping the divine in the female. He talks about blessings.. heaven.. being healed.. cured.. being a pilgrim.. worshipping.. heart at ease..
Extraordinary.. beautiful... to bring these two things together.
Yet there are other elements whose meaning seems beyond reach.. the harness.. the wind going wild.. an allusion to being a baby? And the keys? And later, the snow and the dark.. broken from bening.. is this old age?
