casimira: open the window

"The graceful movements come from a pearl

somewhere on the ocean floor.


Poems reach up like spindrift and the edge

of driftwood along the beach, wanting!


They derive from a slow and powerful root

that we can't see.


Stop the words now.


Open the window in the centre of your chest,

and let the spirits fly in and out."
