Hold Everything Dear
For John Berger
....the paths they make towards us and how far we open towards them
the justice of grass that unravels palaces but shelters the songs of the searching
the vessel that names the waves, the jug of this life, as it fills with the days
as it sinks to becomes what it loves
memory that grows into a shape the tree always knew as a seed
the words
the bread
the child who reaches for the truths beyond the door
the yearning to begin again together
the people in the room the people in the street the people
hold everything dear
