Here is more, you whisper
and on your palms reveal
a path of roots and bones,
that clang and rale in mine
but as I blow on them, they play.
Shines just ahead of us the light;
and it refracts your words,
their rhythm pouring
in pools of shadows
you and I have not reflected on.
Ah! what a relief, my friend
to renew my coming every time;
and by your winds engulfed
inspire a gust of freedom
that starts where you begin
And here and now
we breathe all light and sound
and sighing a shell of silence
for us to swear upon
we move towards the newness of the day.
To Butch M.
