Night for the Lady, A - Joanne Arnott
BC.
my poor bird
watching the earth breathe
with thanks to Giles Slade, after Raymond Carver
watching the earth breathe
can become habit-forming, wind
touching incessantly at our clothes
tossing our hair, tousling spirits
we are water settling from sky
gathering in the folds of leaves
seeping into soil
watching the earth breathe
can become habit-forming
done tenderly with heart stirring
watching the earth newborn
on a grey morning. he told me
ideas travel first in drops
rills of thought become creeks
springs erupt into streams, streams into rivers
rivers open-mouthed to the sea
where thought comes together
with other thought
it pleases me
seahorse migrations
falling in love with our stories as
they rise from their deep-rooted places
called forth by
any little question
a chance encounter
an imagined look upon an imagined face, and all
remembered glimpses
of past times
drifting upward now —
quick & quick —
seeking the air
in droves
here the golden one
here the hungry one
here the singing one
this one, afraid
each tail has slipped its mooring as
sunlight calls through whispering water
urgent for redemption
craving the air &
all good things
that may happen there
deep plants remain and growing
seahorses ever hopeful
rise & rise
reflections (interdependence)
the three of us
sun & moon & earth
weave our webbed light
old moon held in young moon’s arms
shining by the light of the ocean
& the inland sea
my poor bird
take thy flight
lift away into stardust & radiance
interplanetary messenger & escapee
defeating the demons at last
dream of fine houses
dream of fine houses grown organically and
walking the landscape on chicken legs, fine
stone grain or weathered board, skin over limb
for that distinctive bone-rack effect
o ownership
o ownership of the material elements of self
to toss down a dish-cloth and open a
