Shall we not walk together over the city’s stone
Homeless beneath the cliffs of steel,
Our spirit lighter than birds
Welcomed in crannies of far-flung cornices?
Shall we not walk together
And rise into that dream we know?
Rest beside me on the stone;
Rest, for when we can no longer walk
We must dance.
Streets have ended far below,
City sparrows sleep in their smoky towers.
Here all space borrows your light
And floats like an orchid quivering:
This is your theatre and mine.
Raise your arms to sow movement like a seed,
And in the cluster of your hand
Let me see our dream unfold.
I know a rocky world
