Quasi Modo<br />
(In the Manner of the Newly-Born)<br />
Children, sons and daughters,<br />
draw from me<br />
for I have much to give.<br />
Come, lie upon my breast<br />
and rest within my arms<br />
and I will pluck from you<br />
the sounds of jubilation<br />
that are heard in celebration,<br />
when we pull a note of plainsong<br />
into polyphony.<br />
Yet, in just that sense,<br />
my heart is like a cello,<br />
silent<br />
if unused.<br />
As one new-born who craves<br />
her mother’s milk,<br />
I long to feed upon<br />
the sounds of glory<br />
I have hidden.
