It should be a woman
opening her eyes
after long hours of sleep,
the silhouette of a taut muscle
after it has hammered
a threepenny nail into yellow pine.
It should be the sound
of rain rushing through a gutter spout
to fertilize the ground with sky,
the music heard by a deaf girl
at her first symphony
as half notes fall from the staff.
