Waterdownstone for Heidi We compare our scars and talk for hours. You sit, I spin. Love looks through love. You want your plan to work, your luck to change, a miracle to come. You laugh with the thunder, circling the moon. You see backlit cows hanging upside down in the sky. You ride the wind making dandylion wishes. You try to flee but return sealed in a green cell layer. Even we, even so. The candle burns, the candle burns. At the Fourwinds At the fourwinds we enter the bourn that true friendship is. The table tilts. We orbit the sun and moon, body, voice and mind. This is bubblegum, you complain. Where are the dirty feet, the fish floating belly up? The table tilts. No killing the monkey in the hall or the worm in the rotten wall. Now mild and restrained, now wild and unreined, we talk, and our words make light.
