That I see you as a shy
and gravely alert person
every leaf in your possession
and as a great being
in the process of bleeding
using the blood
great streams of it
to shape these ruffled
crimson petals
bomber squadrons
over a green delta
in the endless war
mineral plant animal
human angel archangel
but not until each one
of us has a whole lifetime
and silence is heard
except for your breathing.
