The vane of my heart
was cast into a harp;
I struggled with directions
how to depart
where to flow to
who to trust.
I was armless, legless
just a face across the dark
all lips and eyes
dimension-less
difficult to luff
to remember how to
sing the symmetries of love
that quieten the beasts
and stir a warrior's breast;
the highest speakable degrees
that woo the wind to rest
and raise the dawning east
while all the while wandering
wet, windswept, flowing
pure, in an uncertain darkness
lone, in an uncertain glowing.
