The Ache of Marriage by Denise Levertov

I read this poem and from the surface of the words I get that there is a huge urge to get married.  The author see's marriage as a huge thing, or better yet a huge step to take.  She see's that Marriage can be great and it will bring great joy to her life once see steps foot into that part of her life.  For some reason though she is unable to get married to the person she wants to be with.  This is seen in the line "We look for communion and are turned away."  Well that's part of what I see from the words and I was wondering if anyone who has read the poem see's something else?  Also I was wondering if anyone understood why in the first stanza she uses body parts like thighs, tounge, and teeth?  I see it as a verbal and physical part of a marriage which can be another definition for communion but I am unsure.

Choices

The poem "Choices" by Tess Gallagher is a short but deep poem that can speak for anyone.  From the title alone you can tell that the poem is about making choices.  The choice of doing what you want to do and the choice to do what you feel is the right thing.  As a former NYU student I have had my fair share of interactions with homosexual individuals.  Even one of my good friends was having trouble accepting that part of him in the beginning of his "coming out" phase.  But he then choose to accept that part of who he was.
He was worried that some people wouldn't accept that part of him (me included) but he came to realize that we all accept him for who he is no matter what.  Now everyone isn't as accepting as i am with this topic and I understand that.  They choose to be against it but let me pose a question to you, should we be as accepting as we are of others choices if it's going to hinder someone else's happiness or progression in life?  I know what I think but what do you think?
