She who walks
For Her, and for Julia who showed her to me

She who walks unhindered over water's arched spine:
   she                                      
      who moves into night cloud
                                softly and gently
   is
      always the dark,
                     is slowly moving, curving,
   and thus becomes still with the surging wave;
                                              slow; carefully unfolding,
(bright air all clear).
                      She is motion poised within.
At night the road will become open as the evening
           and birds that sing like thought inside wave.
(And always song moves into her throat:
                                      her singing.)

She who always becomes bright at evening
                                       and who moves the still air night
           and always walks into dark with all the birds' song:
(Unhindered night is the clear road that moves
                                             over cloud, slowly surging).
           She will sing into
                            water's softly moving wave;
                                                       is become
          like her arched and curving, slow-motion open thought.
Throat, spine, gently and carefully poised, as, inside her
          she is thus unfolding;
                               within the wave:
                                   singing.
