about

A waltz commission for Nana Lopez in honor of her mother. Floodwood Pond is in the Adirondack Mountains.

lyrics

Before a shattered world
can begin to heal
it might first float here
amid moss and minnows
in the shimmering mist
of an approaching dawn

We have only this body
and only one earth
made from flesh and blood
of porous mountains
where a doubtful heart
may soak in warm
uncertainty

You could stay awhile
with breath and gravity
your only guides
a primal sound
pooling and rising
from somewhere deep
within your belly

If you believe in stars
then here is the infinite
dance of light
upon a shrine
of rippling water
