There can be no birth without conception And how ecstatic that was My consciousness dancing like Eurynome In the void Spinning out possibilities Images of the world within Joyful after two years Of the prescribed And the pedestrian We were given our heads To speak of ourselves To tell it like it is And how could I not speak of you How I ache for you Search for you Love you And would be overwhelmed by your revealing. Birth then was slow And arduous How often did I stand Covered in clay or plaster Weeping with fatigue and uncertainty All that making in the public eye Every effort open to scrutiny of eyes and minds of those who could not Or would not Know The painful glorious truth of you to me Then it was time I could hold you back no longer Your dispirit elements gathered You were assembled and placed on view Destined for judgments I could not control So then you moved beyond me into the world Traveling in trucks Wrapped and unwrapped Blooming like a flower In galleries and theatres An active participant in sacred mystery plays 62 Being a presence out and beyond me Remember that day when I stood Hidden Watching the room before you How I saw my friend enter And seeing you Gasped Her hand fluttering like a bird at her breast Then hand stilled She leaned forward And tears welled At first I could not grasp what I had seen Until like thunder thought occurred That the painted mirror in your hand Reflected a truth As profound for her As it was for me Overwhelmed with gratitude For all the giving of you I too wept alone and unseen Light bounced around Reflections of a great glory In me in her and in you So to your decline Slow, gradual, humiliating Your sculptures trampled by cows I rebuild Your painted heart torn I mend Misused and mishandled As I stood by dejected But was I truly powerless to stop the rot I think not I think not So why did I let you go Piece by precious piece Because as always you echoed me My life in every atom of your being Rebirth Recycle Renew What started as a whisper Became a clear and strident call As I had rebuild my outer life Now I needed expression Of my re-envisioned inner life
