the door of it all           opens              with a slam tilt-

the dervish with a lion & a tiger is also under a tree

even in his idol body         earth & sky surround him

like his whirling kin            mindful of collisions

with each syllable of sama-           sama is listening

a part of remembrance                   you sing a song

four minutes long      twice      to pass eight minutes-

there is a great difference between knocking once

& knocking twice                    & ringing the door-bell-

there's a great void in the absence of an expected sound

a dream of one's own then draws a bridge through

the door                            when private myths- of a dragon

blocking the river-           monster earthquake monsters-

cathartic eruptions- she-goats raising a child- spill into you

passportless- a consent of touchness- of free-willed water

mice-shiver- a drop of lava a drop of magma- low-volume

forms of colostrums-                                  you sing a song

I want a roadfull of dervishes into my door        my hope

in the pervasive persuasive wind of their hirkas through

the stains of their awareness-              hopelessness-

a thing in itself            not a lack                    you sing a song

an unexpected sound unexpectedly fills the void like

mountains pop-up in the rain to retain cloud- you gather loose

pinballing seconds into a leap-year song on the way to my

there is no door because no human song has an exact length
