Arriving late to love
.
the broken tower
mourns its ringing ruin.
.
Long drought of air
stills the clapper.
.
But one breath, Trembler, 
cracks metal.
.
Muteness falls away.
Frightened doves scatter.
.
Annunciation of rafters: 
.
Come.
.
Remember gaiety, 
how to sway.
.
Who pulls the rope
are many.
.
Silver coin, 
fly up from
.
empty fountain, 
.
renew into 
wishful hand 
a saint's 
pocket prayer 
returning.
.
Poor in heart, scatter.
.
Bread, swell upon
leaning monuments.
.
Flowers
for the dead, 
.
wildly grow
pinching lovers
.
kissing
.
over
.
open
.
graves.
.
.
Black Rooster 
searching 
.
scratches
all dawns.
