I
come to you
through
air and water
each
time
is
holier.
The
people’s hands
carved
by years
&
craved by lusts
make
a dance so picturesque
a
song about you
quiet
and confident presence on the land.
Suns
and seas
&
all these words, words
nothing
much remarkable;
just
returns.
How
many lives has it been without you?
I
reach 90 years
here
and yesterday
&
at times
I
hold you in my arms
bear
you onwrads
talk
to you
cherish
you.
Suddenly,
I am the eldest.
You
are born again
fragile
and irreplaceable
in
every blow of the wind
touch
of the soil
in
every watery stream becoming my veins;
I
shall always have you
birthdays
and grief
defeated.
