Instructions
Have the figures come here
by the water.
No don’t say water say
flood, no say, the twilight
Of my bewilderment. Then
you can go on to the bird.
But no water here and here
take out the mother and only
one door. One door is enough
then you can have the boat come in
and everything will lead
down to the last day then have
the bird at the end and did you mean
God, what kind of God, With Saints?
Should they perhaps come up a bit
next to the Oleander tree then the boy
can go climb it and be there when the sister
comes home and then no blossoms
falling. Get some language from the Temple
page, you’ll find the words
you’ll need there in the service
and then you can end with the flash
of the human heart.
