Wonder-worry

Have you heard the long note
from the distant? Talent
should be like that-

effortless.

Blind-ing, beautiful snake,
father-mask. I, too, am
careful of this world-

unbearably.

When he speaks there are
no stars, eclipsed cold house,
a budding cactus thriving

in the desert.

In the course of life, we hear
many lullabies. While there is
still a history of darkness,

damage,

our ears will not adjust
to light. In dreams, his tongue
becomes a field of posies

resting.
