Hvala; poem by Rob Burton


Return blue sky film crew                                                          I know three words
hot, are you surprised                                                               my body hurt whole
by the weather that mak                                                            we sleep in the after
-es us like dry stones                                                                -noon
                                                                                                said a different way
            gifts of perfume fr                                                          life doesn’t mean
-om three cities fires a sin                                                          living

                                                -gle () in Purgeraj spin
                                                -ing at night it is still cold
                                                at this time of year
                                                and will be like this for so
                                                -me times. (Single round)
unity unties freedoms                                                                 The moon is () waxing
the shapes of statues fed                                                           past observatories
lead in 28 so I can sit in a                                                          by palaces the streets are
poet’s lap shining the silver                                                        built back brick by bri  
bald seat there                                                                          -ck (lyrical)

                                                people are warm creators
                                                here talking verse expan
                                                -sive what is your name
                                                for you like we have many
                                                names for us we have no
                                               
name for ourselves we
have a name for you
