come dear one comebe close be near from fartime in the increments of timesuspends
I have found and lostnot entering not leavingnot here not there as if sound as if rain
tapping the mind isthe chirp of the birdI thought I saw I thought I heardsomething like this
unease we cannot nameas the hawk circlesas we walk the long loopalong the long afternoon
the frogs in small clustersdropping their croaks into deep silenceleaning into the reedstheir gold tones like chords play the mind
heave us into thoughtcome dear one comebe close be near from farbe steady as the tree is steady
gather back and forththese singular cries to imaginethe bird seeing your seeing eye seeingbe close be near from far
measure the days the years the hoursas we are as we were as we will beas the hour is presenceis silence itself
is a mystery tumbling through ushere and here and hereto steady the stranger knocking a doorto steady the voice breaking up breaking down
to steady the oakto swing as birdsto branchesas leaves in flutter
as tongue to pagecome steady usas something is and will besteady and begin again
in the reach of languageshaping and un-shapingthese things that are and are not and areagain the sun behind the grey cloud
just barely just hardly into the slow seasonjust barely just hardly as knowers knowsomething not yet ours is turning usaround and around as if and as though
come dear one comesteady the undone doingssteady the divisions dividedsteady time in the branch visible
be close be near from farcome as darkness into daylight comesas time through the budswill swell into presence
will steady time in the branch visiblebe close be near from farcome as darkness into daylight comesas we are as we were as we will be
