Speaking at Dusk

When a conversation
swelters
to the canyon's rim,
the juncture
of the passion
can be sung just
like a hymn.

The alter call
and kneeling jest
and verse
and verse refrained
the mercy there
is hardly best
if not one voice
is trained.

And so
before the walk
among the overlook
and view
the words
that make
the context rise
are then so
given hue:
Encouragement
is taken in
and made
to speak
in waves,
and if
the message
gathers home,
the fire lights
in caves.
