THE RUMOR OF WATER

 

poetry, once the rumor of 

water in the wilderness

mirage like over the pit of a contracting star

whose are you the rumored water asked 

rippling past you in the dark brambles

who are you who is He who made infinity

when the rumor of water was a certain music

a certain music one looked forward to

on the long march of a dreamless sleep

stumbling over the shadows of monarchs as you weep

reaching deep

like Daphne turning into a tree

Daphne, blurred with leaves

watered by the rumor of water

anchoring in the Unseen.
