15

Over the gray highway
A cloud unveils a hill. Our burial.

And if we float away from this day
After our sleep, to another world...

In a sweep of sunlight
The birds! Currents deep-rippling
Reflect their ancient voices, calling,
Calling to their as yet unborn children

And pulling from a fold in space
Our starry souls, back to a green hospital.

Remember me to my young children!
Maybe they will read and reconstruct
This time: the highway and the hill,
The cloud. Will we be a nebula?

I will remember you, dear friend,
When our words are only stones

At the bottom of a dying conflagration
Before they invent the telescope.
