The
Truth Singer
The
choir left and so I sang alone
How
could I not have noticed?
They
must have grabbed their coats
How
did I not hear their shuffles toward the door?
I
am the day, the expanse, the feet upon the rock I see the warm star
of life in the heart of the sky
Wind,
sand and water did not wear me away I stand a promontory over the
dry land
You
will not wear me away,
I
will sing without my robe
A
glistening body in the light
Alone
and no way to shut my eyes
No
way to shut my eyes
A
promontory over the dark land
Wind,
sand and water will not wear me down.
I
sing with no way to shut my eyes
Not
where to lay my head
A
promontory unmoving in a desert place
I
will sing without a robe
A
glistening body in the sun
A
glistening body in the sun
