POETICS PSALM

POETICS PSALM

Our language has a trim ballet –
It has a pirouette –
A down plié – a revelé –
A tapping castenette.

Our language has a chapel quire –
It has a minstrel loft –
An evensong both short and long –
A hymn both loud and soft.

Our language has a music box –
A time that moves around –
An etiquette delirious –
A circular resound.

(30 September 2010, Pleasant Grove, Utah)
