in the touching of you
there is a know ing of means
and a way of seemq, there is
in the touching of you
(it's ik e a dancing
in the waves) that y o u eyes
becom e a briqhtly spray
and when you re shining
on my face I
have to laugh and say
that in the touching of you
there is a feeling l i e a child
beside the sea at play

Mavbe holding y o u hand as we w a l
next to the ocean is a music
of non-|uddmeor and on that p u c h a s e
we can furge a r e w way
of t a i inq about things
that leaves a title -'oom for quiet
Or maybe w e ll find a chant that m ete
the cotter pin at the center
of this language of rapaciutisness
and around o u ears w ill fall
the broken buttresses of a cq u isiio n
l i e a trillion trays of dishes t«emg dropped
th e r crashes dying to a tinkle
o f b r d notes, of m usical new words
and a fnendty paradigm
of verbs that soothe and heal
of nouns that are collective,
a nd articles that state o u rights
to tend the earth with tenderness
and speak o u m inds w th reverence
arid love wth tie arts unsullied by
the m illion lies of m odern lie ,
and live ten thousand days in paradise
