a circle of talk
awaiting
remembered
secrets
of yesteryear
alive
with surprise
perfected
in
instinctive
formal pictures
windows of blame
flood
with trouble
&
mirror
disgust
in pitfalls
to
nowhwere
evidence cripples
wrangles
cultivates
lying
freezing
applause
in all happenings
of the
heart
as
mouths speak
&
breathe thoughts
aloud
sight&touch
plot
to translate
the solitary
into
a delicate
air
of grace
a focus
on the truth
quickens-
style
flowers
and
covers forever
the shame
of the
journey
an intricate
answer
an object
lecture
a daily
reply
shaped
to the needs
spoken&
thought
a miracle
encounter
inside
a voice
a cry
a look in the eye
a perfected
gift
an omen
not
to deny
a duty to learn
a saying
to know
kingdom
a place
to
go
