Granted something is
lost in transformation
But I bring you now
far inland
roaring of the sea
Simon Perchik
until I hear my name
your voice had no arms
no eyes I feed on a voice
that follows from the womb
calling as each mother calls
a word different
surrounded by all others

This is a river
that can handle allusions,
delusions, and still be a river.
I dont even tell it
that its in the poem.
Water this deep
could drown imaginings.

I have traveled
a good deal
back of my head
back of my spine
into what I guessed
was some sort of
seat of truth.
Im staying there yet
And remembering things.

Hey.

Who can say what that
god was
who led him
but he
journeyed
and we
journey with him.
More than this
is more than is
revealed.
