Poem Fourteen: Love Letter

*

There is a difference between

invocation and evocation. 

One separates the identity

of the caller and called,

while the other suggests

a certain possession. 

Mythology of water

folding into other water.

Overlapping constellations,

the white flags of nerve-endings, 

interconnected tributaries, 

electric impulses, arrow 

and pulse of blood, the metrics 

of hymns. 

We are skylarks who hold back

for a moment, song.
