Primal Breath

Look the herons in the greenbilled water
their wet-ash wings wear medallions of patience
We drift on…
We have stories as old as the great seas
breaking through the chest
Flying out the mouth
Noisy tongues that once were silenced
All the oceans we contain, coming to light
All the dark birds rush from the river
Leaving only the stillness of their language
There are no clocks to measure time,
but the beating of our singing hearts
[go?
We have stories as old as the great seas
breaking through the chest
Flying out the mouth
Noisy tongues that once were silenced]
You will know it is winter
by the way you dreams tremble like stones
when the wind comes through
The wind, full of hearts that beat quick and strong
[Noisy tongues that once were silenced
All the oceans we contain, coming to light
Primal breath]
