echoes
echoes of voices
trailing down the streets
traipsing through alleys
forever calling tender a name
a name that we once knew
soft like a haunted breeze
a breath that seeking, persists
remember and awake
she is a dancing Sophia
with the thousand songs
chasing past her longing lips
fragrant with a poured holiness
spilled from censors swinging,
singing –
come,
know the one that sent me
