Tribute
The japanese woman
Took off her robe
Swam in the darker waters
Her long slender fingers upon the white keys
This is if you believe
So the spring begins
With warmer hues
And a delicate tilt
A gift to what is between
An opening
Putting out the first hand
To bring out the dead leaves
And let the past be gone
That is how the want
Will summon
And flow
Like blood running uphill
Until
And she strokes your hair with her smile
And your eyes dance into her mouth
The only sound
Your heart
As all falls silent
And you bow
To all that you hold
As you take those steps
To the world
There before you
