Footprints in the Windsm # 1704
Speak the word of authorization
Invite free hearing
Evoke imaginative seeing
What else? Who else?
Alternative universes invent!
Poetry, mystery, whole-making do!
Speak out of the new, barely understood
Into the new
Die, ego, to the old
Neither conservative nor liberal
Only promising
Ever to love
Never the final word
Ever opening
Please pass it on.
