still dead sisters & brothers
singing to me
from la drang valley
& brest litovsk
are not abstract
skins covering skins
blood
debts determined
when light
breaks
morning's
majesty
& bones
be more
than being
robed in secrets
soil
& seed
water's
wind
wails
water
blood's
fury
shall not
sleep
nor
sleep
slitting wrists
1978 la roch
sur yon
damp
year of tears
light
look at lips
earth
slips
blue
with longing
red
on red
we wild
& wise
to take
time not
permitting
time to take
us
we
one
until now
until now
blood debts
dew
wipe my face
wherever you are
yearning
for time
to turn
back to shadow
feel flesh
of oceans
order
