Constancy I
Before a battle,
grow inwards, like root and rock:
shed eyes, ears; shed words.
Let us speak, your skin to mine.
Touch alone scores memory.
Touch alone will survive
Time
grow inwards, like root and rock:
shed eyes, ears; shed words.
Let us speak, your skin to mine.
Touch alone scores memory.
Touch alone will survive
Time
