To Reason
(Illuminations X: À Une Raison)
A tap of your finger on the drum looses all sounds and begins the fresh harmony.
One step of yours is the rising of new men and their forward march.
Your face turns away: new love! Your face turns back – the new love!
‘Change our fate, eliminate the plagues, beginning with Time’ these children sing to you. ‘Breed, no matter where, the substance of our fortunes and wishes,’ they beg.
Arrival from forever, you who’ll depart everywhere.
