She turns to the man beside her,
As if to say she understood how inside
And outside the rooms of love
The landscape was not always seamless
This paper is a crane.
When its wings unfold,
The paper will be pure and empty.
The dancer...knows it takes
Ten sacred years to learn one gesture
Of the wind's caress on the skin of water.
Tonight, in the shadows of our dance,
I tell my soul to grow quiet,
Become lake, reflect unbroken moon.
On the deepest part of the lake,
A solitary fisher paddles his oars.
At the shore, a woman in red sarong
Sings: their longing walks on water.
We have joined the trek
of desert women, humped over
from carrying our own oases
in the claypots of our lives,
gathering broken shards we find
in memory of those who went
ahead of us, alone.
This must be the taste of Language -
the tongue mapped by many colors,
parsed by the vowels of memory, the roof
of the mouth the dome of a world
circumscribed by consonants, whose edges
suggest the sour-sweetness of oranges,
the bittermelon's green rind, the river-
scent of mangoes all the way to the grove.
