REPETITION

Don't break my arms!

Someone already has,

When rain was not water

But steam, and cry,

And liquid crystals of light.

Don't fear me!

Beyond the Holy Ghost

Of the mountain

I sing to you with arms

Not of my own.

The Rain drops heavy

Its ages of permanence.

It never stops

Embracing the stoned bodies

With mute perseverance,

Feeding the relentless time.

My face is your face!

My eyes are your eyes!

My soul is your soul!

My arms are replacing yours!
