Listen:
at the altar
the priest holds mystery
in his hands
in liquid delight a child
overcome with laughter
accompanies him
an intense August sun
plays the air
and her hair golden
she holds
communion
in her laugh
Listen:

Listen:
river me
river on
uncertainty
below
the wing wise
the wind true
that come and go
above
this flow
forever immediate
this prayer
on its way
to see
eye to eye
on alert
quick
to witness
the silence
between us
so fleeting
so full of
communion
