Song (Without Music)

117 9 12
                                    

There is no standing still

In this high, weathered place.

The sweet gale tugs,

Like infant fingers, at the cloth

Where your body hides;

Hurries you along;

Beheads the flowers so that they

Brush your cheek;

Brings bitter brine

To blind you and

Gritty, scented loam

To choke you.

Let go.

Be blown away.

Be free.
