You think in such unlikely ways
to whisper out your careful phrase
Never ending verse arrives
divided into many lives

Show me where to put my ear
so other voices disappear

My face keeps tilting toward the sky
for the fire I should recognize
What burning there became my kin
which ember do I have within

Show me where to point my eye
and see your face in each surprise

I touch a few and still betray
what you would have my heart survey
I should move as far and wide
as the strangers that I sleep beside
In dreams I usher in
unfamiliar eyes and skin

Show me how to spread my soul
Show me where to point my eye
Show me where to put my ear
