1.
throbbing dawn . . .
everything becomes
something else
2.
when every sheath
is torn from us . . .
what then?
3.
before the filthy birth
of Time . .
I am
4.
dancing river . . .
who has taught it
how to dance
5.
sing it
one more time . . .
song of the mute swan
6.
i am nothing . . .
i have clothed myself
in your dreams
7.
entanglements
of the ego . . .
the first cuckoo calls
