the wind says dryly
ask
what
why
how
when
...c
not
a minute after
the day
yet here we
are
...c
I d want a bruised meal
with glass and
go away
Claire & ...c
a book said slender tongue
can stagger and run
...c
dark bouquet smells of him
Claire
see my summer people in red
lace
immense like avenues
consumed by skin
Claire

full or not
slice you through it
Claire (& ...c)

Will sleep more easily
Mama
Open clothes
spend many a day
loyal
...c
Hear no mean
old talk
Ems
Smile and laugh
around friendly people
with long almost slow surprise
Ems & ...c
Listen to silent mind
between night like
secret generous child
...c
When some word which was
our kind
said no too soon
it must have needed
support
Ems
Borrow the dinner
then keep close so
joker of same
empty time
can cry after her
man

They go alike here
taste the idea of that
Ems
Chocolate for big full
friendship

Tear my share
Ems
Relax believe in
intuition
Ems & Mama

though he hugs you
Ems
Fight dark light
like a strong flower

Lastly ol Prophet speaks:
Then a lawyer said, But what of our Laws,
master?
And he answered:
You delight in laying down laws,
Yet you delight more in breaking them.
Like children playing by the ocean who build sand-
towers with constancy and then destroy them with
laughter.
But while you build your sand-towers the ocean
brings more sand to the shore, And when you
destroy them the ocean laughs with you.
Verily the ocean laughs always with the innocent.
But what of those to whom life is not an ocean, and
man-made laws are not sand-towers,
But to whom life is a rock, and the law a chisel with
which they would carve it in their own likeness?
What of the cripple who hates dancers?
What of the ox who loves his yoke and deems the
elk and deer of the forest stray and vagrant things?
What of the old serpent who cannot shed his skin,
and calls all others naked and shameless?
And of him who comes early to the wedding-feast,
and when overfed and tired goes his way
saying that all feasts are violation and all feasters
lawbreakers?
What shall I say of these save that they too stand in
the sunlight, but with their backs to the sun?
They see only their shadows, and their shadows are
their laws.
And what is the sun to them but a caster of
shadows?
And what is it to acknowledge the laws but to stoop
down and trace their shadows upon the earth?
But you who walk facing the sun, what images
drawn on the earth can hold you?
You who travel with the wind, what weather-vane
shall direct your course?
What man's law shall bind you if you break your
yoke but upon no man's prison door?
What laws shall you fear if you dance but stumble
against no man's iron chains?
And who is he that shall bring you to judgement if
you tear off your garment yet leave it in no man's
path?
People of Orphalese, you can muffle the drum, and
you can loosen the strings of the lyre, but who shall
command the skylark not to sing?
be well!
Lotsa love
...c
