Annunciation - A Song for Cesar Vallejo & Hart Crane
Arriving late to love
the broken tower
mourns its ringing ruin.
Long drought of air
once stilled the clapper.
But one breath, Trembler,
cracks metal.
Muteness falls away.
Frightened doves scatter.
Annunciation of rafters:
Come.
Remember gaiety,
how to sway.
Who pulls the rope
are many.
Silver coin,
fly up from
empty fountain,
renew into wishful
hand a saint's pocket
prayer returning.
Poor in heart scatter.
Bread swells upon
leaning monuments.
Flowers
for the dead
wildly grow
pinching lovers
who kiss
over
open
graves.
