Vol. 2. / 173.) On A Following Wind




Bells will ring on a following wind
The sound carries and birds sing
Being born upon the wind I felt it not
It did me no harm though it were made
Of knives --- Going with it I went free
Being part of it I travelled light ---
And I did not find any pressure there

Where caught by no offence or fear
The air is clear and I move instinctively:
No barrier to hinder first feeling there;
Upon the instant revelation strikes me
The primal power persisting shakes
My heart, resounding through the air
Riding with the accompanying waves
Not finding any undue resistance there

But there is no capturing of the wind
Our nets of solidarity are full of holes
Our shoes are useless and no protection
Against the rough road of revelation, for
We step aside from the wind before it
Captures us --- lest by our anxiety
To keep together only being equalled by
Our desire to go in different directions
We divide the wind that will not be
Divided up by our own associations
