Then, words flowed
from the bewitchment of things, or spouted
in a dark bubbling, blood-like,
or their avid bonfires bit
the hands trying to trap them
or they crossed like birds or deer
in the sun's radiance, through the woods.
Now, when a word comes
- alone, immense, unique, lost,
a messenger successful in traversing
the most vast and naked of spaces -
we must welcome it regally,
open doors, light lamps,
and remain silent until,
incapable of lying to us, it falls asleep
and once again converges with the rocks.
