Yes Sir
it’s true
I won’t know
upon waking
who you formally
claim to
be
but walking with you
tonight has been
like walking with
a
Great Ghost of All-History
a
water bearer
an
artist
of all expressions
of the Human
an
understander of all things
a
knower of everyone
When we jointly put our hands
on the Stone
by the shore
I felt a little
of how it must be
to be you
and
I get why
you say so little
If there’s as you say
nothing to the God
we believe in
or nothing to
how it’s
understood
here
if we’ve been wrong
I can accept that
because
the Stone
has hold of the Truth
and I have had hold
of the Stone
So
yes Sir
I will wake up
unable to explain this
but confident
and assured that
from now on
all I need is the shore
and the Stone
and your whispering certainty
— one Word only —
across my ear
