Strangely Faithful Constancy

Thought – arterially
offered from the heart –
proffered with intention
by the eyes – will bring
a blush, surprise
and grace to any face;

conversation can
command the boniest
of hands to gesture
with an unaccustomed
loveliness; the inarticulable
inward mess that used

to seethe ungovernably
may now suddenly
begin to breathe and loom
into the wholly human –
groping through whatever
reach of speech is possible

to beckon to, and find,
the strangely faithful
constancy of words

allowed to meet and take

a walk. The beauty
there can be in talk!
