Marks |
| An offering here in my winter coat |
| Touch my face and point me home |
| The ropes of time tangle the threads of hope |
| Where I throw my birds, dare I watch them go |
| I think I’ll come apart, how deep they leave their mark |
| Like the leaves of the shady tree |
| Wishes turn down inside of me |
| And wake me here on this foreign shore |
| Trembling that I run so far |
| Before a boat departs, how deep it leaves its mark |
| Let me speak what your heart can see |
| Roll and gather and open me |
| In my whispering and my crying out |
| Like dancers turning in light and dark |
| Here on my weighted heart, how deep they leave their mark |
| And here in my winter coat |
| How you pretend there’s something that you don’t know |
| In the stillness down where a blackbird sings |
| Its song of nothing and everything |
| The counting stops and starts. |
| How deep it leaves its mark |
