Surfacing from a fading language,

the word comes when needed.

A dark sound surges and ebbs,

its accuracy steadying the heart.

Certain kernels of sound

reverberate like seasoned timber,

unmuted truths of a people’s winters,

stirrings of a thousand different springs.

There are small unassailable words

that diminish Caesars;

territories of the voice

that intimate across death and generation

how a secret was imparted –

that first articulation,

when a vowel was caught

between a strong and a tender consonant,

when someone, in anguish

made a new and mortal sound

that lived until now,

a testimony

to waves succumbed to

and survived.
