Song of the 1000s

i want to breathe to you 1000 streams of light
so that your heart is satiated
with the purest love of a newborn child
when trust and respect are pieces of me
bequeathed to you without preoccupation of return
or the sad hope that you will love me too
i want to feed to you 1000 waves of sound
and songs from a soul uncovered by darkness
with a new face to finally confront the born world
new hands to strum for your rays of light
or honey, sugar, and nectarines to edify
the construction of us and the future chaotic humble
i want to defecate from you the 1000 years of doubt
the festering blackness left to you before birth
and the moves to and from without your soul
a home never found just searching for warmth
and the men and children and who knows why
the internal cyclone of your wounds circling and circling
i want to see for you 1000 fields
of tobacco, sugarcane, sunflowers, and passion fruit
diving in with my mind and photographing the sounds
of the wind drifting through the valley of your body
the eyes of a lifetime drenching the greenery
the plans of joy running on to the sun
i want to hear for you the wind of a 1000 birds in flight
and take flight with your svelt soul
sailing over the earth and urban soil
