All the Good Things in the Bright Air

Is that a hare? Or is it a rock?
Crouched at the base of that oak
No don’t stare too long and scare it off
The park’s so small and there are so many dogs
Get a little rest if you can

And all the good things in the bright air
Are winging their way to you
Every word a kiss
Every kiss a prayer
And every story, every song, every poem, every particle
That we shed and catch
In the commonwealth of our breath
Make me closer to you now
Than I’ve ever been
And I know you are holding me
Yes I know you are holding me

Your hands are hurting
It’s hard to focus
You find yourself thrown by luminous purple crocuses rising
And signs can be quite small
And you can make them
You’re doing the best that you can

And all the good things in the bright air
Are winging their way to you
Every word a kiss
Every kiss a prayer
And every story, every song, every poem, every particle
That we shed and catch
In the commonwealth of our breath
Make me closer to you now
Than I’ve ever been
And I know you are holding me
And I am holding you
Yes I know you are holding me.

The phrase “commonwealth of breath” is borrowed from the American ecologist and philosopher David Abram.
