Diane di Prima




The Window
By Diane di Prima
.
you are my bread
and the hairline
noise
of my bones
you are almost
the sea


you are not stone
or molten sound
I think
you have no hands




this kind of bird flies backward
and this love
breaks on a windowpane
where no light talks


this is not time
for crossing tongues
(the sand here
never shifts)




I think
tomorrow
turned you with his toe
and you will
shine
and shine
unspent and underground
