Humbling

I love you in poverty of 
words;
when you are not seeking
anything.

A dusky strength, self-
deprecating, 
holding forth the virtues of 
self-denial.

What was the awareness of 
a blind ?
Of shadows of migrating birds 
in moonlight ?

Hold my extended arm. May 
be you can fall, 
looking without eyes in the depth 
of the sea.
