“Open hands, touch, & teach others how”<br />

Raymond Soulard, Jr.<br />

i. Flutter<br />

Tonight I listen for the flutter to go.<br />

Less than a hum, a low whistle,<br />

less than a something, a key-shaped<br />

declivity in the ether, humbling clue.<br />

It was another dream of sand set me to go.<br />

This one a test, the several questions,<br />

fingering grains to conjure answer,<br />

& in the right order: Forgive. Understand. Reconcile.<br />

And now the path, past my dreams,<br />

& every foolish hour. Came where I should,<br />

in this graying dusk, & now to listen,<br />

now to watch, wait & watch, there—<br />

A pink nose, glowing fur, parting through grass,<br />

a way not a way, just the flutter to go.<br />
