The Sign



It happened twice          because of the sign


in front of the rose garden       there it was there it is

 


started with a couple of sentences      even if they weren’t remembered


written in the language           you have heard before


or have you    



when you wiggled         they giggled


and followed the traces of a deer



 


the grasshopper     wither on the vine


beneath your fingertips       there always is a wormhole


between the world and me         between the word and me


they reconcile



the apprentice had completed the forest         with its own reflection



when you winked      it linked


and followed the traces of a deer
