Listen!
FOLLOWING the laws of migration over the ground through the air migration across generations migration of angels and souls no change of heart or looming mountain no lie or sea's expanse deters from place to place the lines vary and correct themselves the day's journey is written out in its own language beehive in cancer serpent holder the goat and its slaughterer the learned archer in the dark the stars are calling out names of their own migration the foot pauses the eye is sharp we listen closely and continuously translate from start to resting place
