Listen.
I listen and I
learn, my love
Let your ears attend
like a child pretending
to you and to our
God unending
to the strife your ship
stirred up that you might
establish this beginning.
I gathered up love's gerunds and sailed
safe from language, for in parting with the dusty
spines of grammarians and linguists could I
more completely quench my desire
among silk sheets of song.
Resolute,
with warped oars you'd spooled out
many strokes across the sunlit surface of the sea
before a stray hook you'd casted snagged
my solitary wing and pulled my
frail body up to the open air
