Kinship
Ripples in the night like darkness is a pond spirit forms are skipping stones on Sparks find eyes Eyes chase sparks If they catch them will it cure the willingly blind Disruptions in the air Rainfall in the room Cloaked in some fabric rods and cones alone can't detect See with another eye See them observing To what end Are we raptured Invaded, awakened Tell me the truth Can you see them too Crows gather, no one dying No foreboding, beautiful black Cardinals ribbon the yard red Did two species ever know such kinship My breath is a small thing I catch it Hide it where no one can kill it If I'm for the birds the birds might think me a worm Nothing seems to act right or it acts right for the first time Dust motes reveal secret letters I swear I'm tasting light Will fog roll back in I'm unwilling to re-blind What I've seen What has seen us all What is visiting Logic is displaced by it I grow to love it like a friend
