we speak

We speak We speak
dark night of feathery weight
carries our voices high
touching and resting on curved point of starry heaven

We speak we speak
not for the sake of procuring lovers
though to be the beloved
we need we must
you need you must
be the beloved

We speak we speak
adorned blind sight vision, clearly
approximating and steady,
strand by strand, thread by thread,
a world is woven and sewn

We speak we speak
of following to grass green and milken lands
though follow I will, if you walk to hellish depths,
paradise with you I find in every grain of sand

We speak we speak
'til the hours change is done
and emptied to the sea
With alternations light and dark,
flow again, flow again
one day, one year, one hundred fold
fold in
fold on

We speak we speak

no talk on this tomb of life
heavy hearts
souls of stone
our shadow, our angel
our hero, our image
our life to give
pretending to be

one day willing to live

We speak
