Falling From The Sky ...

i forgot what it felt like
for you to whisper stirred
echoes onto my eardrums:

a mix of every language
live and dead,
pulling into focus
the story of your coming birth
that baba told to the Trenchtown winds
one burning summer
until the rains came.

[i wonder if you can hear me, too.]
