Who
iii.
…in whose honor we
squeezed into a
window sill naked
as Jay birds.
until someone said
I don’t think Jays
are all that
naked.
we had
forgotten feathers.
nests.
Checkin' things out by the river.
I can find you
in a candle. in
the jack and peel
of apple. I can
find you
in the underneath
of Spring.
I can find you
in an album. in
the scratch and turn
of vinyl. I can
find you
in the song
a river sings.
I can find you
in a question. in
a silent
conversation. I can
find you
in the company
you bring.
And you may
not be
my first Love.
No.
but I can find you.
hold all that floats
in common
said the river
water cannot begin undo
what you
hadst left
undone
I follow as you
follow
said the moon
duplicity
a thousand minute hands
bells tolls ticks clocks
alarms can neither slow
or quicken sting
or thought
of hapless mind
said time
come rest here
in
my arms
