Just before dawn, listen:
\nNot to the creatures
\nHigh pitched outside
\nNot to the jet soaring
\nHigh overhead
\nNor to the outboard roaring
\nBy to a fishing spot
\nNor the waves
\nSlyly lapping wearing
\nTime and earth and even
\nSky away in clouds —
\nNo:
\nListen to what is
\nLying under all that:
\nVibration in everything
\nTrying to speak unheard
\nPrying at you, an
\nIdea waiting for discovery,
\nBiding its time, more
\nStrident each day until,
\nPrimal becomes normal,
\nEyes see, ears hear, body
\nFinds, and we know
\nWhy and how and all and
\nDie.<\/p>\n
