What I found there, the heart of the light


Itself shelled and leaved, balancing
Itself shelled and leaved, balancing
On filaments themselves falling. The secret
On filaments themselves falling. The secret
Of this journey is to let the wind
Of this journey is to let the wind
Blow its dust all over your body,
Blow its dust all over your body,
To let it go on blowing, to step lightly, lightly —James Wright
To let it go on blowing, to step lightly, lightly
