Pottery fragments sing broken phrases of lost music.
Perhaps I was wrong after all about the silence,
Perhaps if I stand here alone and listening I can hear
time work through and within me.
Roots extract poison and honey from the same rock,
Forms of unborn music wait here to be transmuted.
The gray green lichen takes the world apart and we do not shudder at it.

       - Peggy Pond Church,
A Lament on Tsankawi Mesa
