In what may have been a blink The zone was erased Forgotten or con­fused To take part in the play A real part With the cre­ation the stages Walking with the debris The charge into morn­ing from last nightӳ dance The con­ceal­ment A grotto is used again and again But this time no one is lost They all find the steps through the air The hums begin then the chant And now songs rise and swirl Each place is a place first then thresh­old Walk exactly in rhythm Exactly in defeat of dis-​​traction! Pass the first stage and the sec­ond Arms and spears the drums and echoes Water pours Seven

Like the planets and their days

Out the other side
And plant the plants
Thrust the trees into the dirt
Locate the center that runs from here
	(My spine)
To there
	(The roots)

Clouds part in the East ahead of me
	Run without breaking!
