Hidden beneath the maples
lies a country of red.
Threading through,
a river flows like capillaries.
Knock
on the rusted door of the castle,
the password, hidden in the flute of air,
opens it like a key.
Key, Minor C,
counterpoints sealed tight,
forming the strongest fortress.

To birth you,
head down,
wailing,
sliding through
the wet, dark
passage.
So long, so long—
enough to finish
a thousand and one dreams,
no transitions,
no intermission.
Skating,
frame by frame—
swinging,
picking fruit:
grapes,
apples,
cherries,
mushrooms.

Never written a word,
knitting a net
on a two-dimensional plane,
composing the infinity
of a three-dimensional world.
What’s written by your hand
does not come from your hand.
What’s spoken by your mouth
does not come from your mouth.

A grain of rice in your bowl,
a handful of sand in my palm,
a pinch of salt in boiling water—
the falling blue.
A cloud at the heart of the lake,
a mountain hidden among clouds,
a bird’s nest upon a branch—
the resting blue.
