don’t be afraid
our weakness is powerful
schools of lost dolphins
are these words
fallen from the prayers
into magic boxes
hidden wishes
white flames on the candles
as tender as snowdrops
that will fade soon
don’t be afraid
this is one more night
when we won’t sleep
alone on highways
while you drive with pain
hidden in your eyes
passing quietly
from town to town
from one dream to another
don’t be afraid
in one dolphin’s dream
we also live
immortal and helpless
as midnight suns
kids running on the edge
of this endless blue
sentence
(1994)
