The Day of Soaring Imagination


I hear birdsong in the pauses of your words
A quiver the notion of a wing O the exquisite
Chariot of your mind bounds wildly over ocean
Waves you who unravel every proposition
Down to the thread how is it your thoughts rival
The art of days the art of nights you who are only
Beautiful witticisms to me the elegant syntax of rain
Veins tainted with the blood of wounded mirrors?
Never the sky but the idea of sky is what woke me
Not the black feathers in my mouth not twigs
In my bed not even your blue eyes your lips
Never the breath nor remembered voice not
The song but the silence between sounds is what
Woke me and the birds the waves too
