Our Steps Through These Tangled Labyrinths


When we hush is when we trust the chorus
Why not? Whenever the sun comes out
We put on our poetic disquisitions one leg
At a time just like everybody else only we
Take chances and any other shortcuts we
Find along the way we who baptize dawn
False exiles of embodied silence we keep
Padlocked in a closet where being there
Is only that and nothing more not being
In some other being but rather being
Or being alone and we smile don’t we?
In spite of our mysteriously thin voices
It’s only when we’re being impractical
That we find poetry waiting in silence
