Poem

In this valley of earth
the wind 
comes with the same gift 
the same solitary wind
that carries faith
without speaking 

with the same sightless purity
that sees everything
as it is
that causes the same quiver of branches
that have pulled their skins
out of soil and rocks 

The wind’s long horn blows
into this valley’s earthen jug  
and applies its wisdom
as thin as
this silver hair that holds the heat
to my bones 

this wisdom that assembles 
and stirs above me watching 
and me standing
below
in this valley as cold as heaven
where there has always been
and even now a river’s 
unsaid oath 
where birds drop feathers
where birds balance the wind
even in sleep

even when nothing moves
even when knowing that 
each feather dropped
can fly 

alone

each one 
gifted with the wind’s wisdom
