Our Need to Be Here
2009 January 11
Our Need to Be Here
They move in shadows
and voices beyond us who do not
speak or hear this language:
the silence the earth
wakes up to in whisper:
the stories of humpbacks
who call to each other
in the dark blue, luring us
softly down, where our dreams
intermingle with the shape
of the water, the pull
of the moon: our need
to be here
stronger than our need
to breathe
or understand.
