"Nightprayers"
Tonight, in your mother's house,
I know my coming dreams
like a bird
knows the thickness
of the wind.
Tonight,
I can discern my future's silhouette
through the obscuring shadows
of the willow branches.
Tonight,
I will hold you in my sleep
and whisper words into your heart
that I will not remember
and you will not forget,
for such is the truth of things
and such is their beauty,
forever and ever,
Amen.
