A different choir


A different choir:
donkey brays
cattle low
sheep bleat
wood creaks

out in the fields
the choir sings

in holy terror
terrifying songs
terrifying words

here in this quiet
dirty place fit
for animals
a different choir
a different chorus

a baby’s cry

    this made me think
    of his learning to speak
    and the words of power
    that he came to impart
