Words (for a hundred issues)
Constructs of air;
dark droplets—
fragile things. Yet
watch the air
when it stirs to wind,
how it shapes and reshapes
trees, hills, land, water; watch how
rain drops pattern,
clean, rouse
a dull world to shining.
It was the Word
that lit the great void
and the small lamp
for searching feet.
One hundred issues of
words
is a mighty making.
