Song language: English
Stop Singing |
the possibility that if I stopped clapping |
my hands in the void |
I would notice that I can’t hold on to things |
and |
the possibility that if I stopped using my voice |
I would notice songs that, all around me, sing |
looms in weather, |
lives buried in my days, |
with all my songs and rhythms going like |
the darkness surrounding a flame. |
It’s what I don’t say with my mouth. |
It’s my mouth open |
to breathe in. |
It’s open windows. |
Still, I go on and on describing the shape |
around the thing I want to but can not name, |
in song |
and, though my long life feels busy |
and full of usefulness and drive, |
I will sleep through every single dawn |
and those I see I will not understand though I try |
I will sing through every single song |
about the spaces left when we stop singing |
and I will sing this |
with longing. |
