From Out the Stillness

-------From Out the Stillness-------

The wind
takes a rest
on a warm day in Autumn,

And the black flies return
as if something sweet and holy I had forgotten
was hiding beneath my skin. 

On the street, a woman dressed in rags
Collects (Draws) small change 
from souls that long to sit beside her.

In all directions,
from out this stillness
awakes a golden memory

Of the blood
that is shared
between us.
