First Man

When the moon hangs low
And muted landscapes
Over, on, and down
Rise beneath you like a drum
And you wonder how it was
To be the first man
With the first eyes
Your thirst for vision
And your mind’s delights
The contour of cedar’s twisted limbs
The contrast of in and out and in
Oh, to behold, the excessive splendor
Ancient and untold, is the lapping water
Eternity bleeds,
Awaken Me
When the heron flies at dusk
She stretches out her winged arm
Over, on, and down
The wind lifts her like a song
And you wonder how it was
To be the first woman
With the first ears
Your urge to break the silence
Of so many years
The clatter of toss-and-turning stones
The chatter chorus, kin, and crow
Oh, to imbibe, the heavy sublime
Open your mind, to rhythm and rhyme
Oh, to unfold in the ever-after
Hope that it grows into another chapter
Eternity bleeds,
Awaken Me
