Maker and Made

5/10/2016

​whaaaa, heart hinge creaks open
because I just heard the simplest wind chime ringing two-three notes
as it dances in the air

notes like the bees' sting
and the bees’ honey
mixed together

thank you, thank you
dance between creator and creation
thank you for mellow succulent autumn winds whispering and snaking

thank you, thank you
dance between human beings and creation
thank you for your diamond minds and your breathtaking making

would I ever have invented wind chimes
even given centuries and centuries and centuries to live?
I have my doubts

but I am grateful to the point of ache
for the partner dance between 
the world’s breath, circling wetly around this island
and divine chimes made by the work of people’s hands - set upon creating harmony

my marrow melts to fluid thanks 
​for the dance between the maker and the made

oh, now the sun is spotlighting the whole duet
and I am transfixed

the yellow leaves are clapping
and no amount of thank yous is enough
