Escalade

Our two minds have broken the air with song
Invisible highways reach us of first love
A laugh from you can spark off precious news
Your voice is a familiar new colour
That art is sweet by which your neck was made
There is no miracle but your Christian name
A kiss from you has day’s long lightness in it
Our two minds have broken the air with song
The notes are heard as one before we sleep
We are free citizens of a gala town
In rawest wind a dog barks holiday
Storms curse . . . a forest breaks down . . . stones bounce wild
Each lives right in an aerodrome of noise
But after rant of day, comes peace of night
O love, your song has sung out against mine
The notes are heard as one before we sleep
