humans should be human

the language of soul
and the dance of will
moves in such flux that
yearns for zenith's zeal--

two hands that know
through touch
is the agenda
of our words.

humans should be human,
which is hard to do,
i know--
but still--

we should still care
and if it's overwhelming
than spread your hands wide to the horizon
and fall backward
and let the wave
destroy your vertigo

but stand, stand again
between the hills so true
as to make this green grave
turn you lazarus

and beseech the truth
that does not speak
but leaves
its humble followers
with quaint smiles
knowing
our unknowing
