SEA SONG ONE:SARI SPRING

The fountain spring
lost
in childhood
still runs
in the hidden places of
his body.
Tough with rocks
free with grass
he drank from the earth
and never dried
that sad dew.
Not prevented by rocks
or their abscences
he opened furrows
to the last field.
The fountain spring
lost
in childhood
did not go into the wave's talons
but grew
in the sea.
