In the Second Before - Mary Halvorson

Tangent to

The intense

Quiet power

Already there

In the second before

It reaches the eternal

Fragrance

Of your hands and feet

You may not know

That it’s easy

But his voice comes

Out of the sound

Of the million people

We are known

To discard

Tangent to

The intense

Quiet power

Already there

In the second before

It reaches the eternal

Fragrance

Of your hands and feet

You may not know

That it’s easy

But his voice comes

Out of the sound

Of the million people

We are known

To discard
