mother opened her mouth and spoke:
earth.
there was earth in them and they dug…
father opened his mouth and spilled
the names of things
to eat and use
hammer dog pail cow.
when the land was covered by sea mother opened her mouth
and the fish and crabs beheld trees and mountains
it was father who named the apple and the snake
it was mother who opened her mouth and laughed.
silencio!
you make no sound of your own save yawn and sigh
yet you are the first born son,
ichiro
the harbinger of wind and storms.
who can conceive the enormous
mass light heat force
in the grand scale of all things?
who can even conceive the what beyond that?
but you put your best feet forward, and hold your arms up to the
rain
beneath your feet: seeds
above your palms: sun
you were the one i was looking for
when nothing was near and dear.
