Song of Enchantment by Marc Vincenz

To incant a spell
between the rush

of bodies, a primal urge
to seek out wild frontiers, to go,

flow toe to toe
with the forested bears

& in the singing to sweeten
that background noise.

To delight in coolest mornings
when the lone finch sings

for its mate
from the tree’s peak

that it thinks
is a mountain.

To be encountered
in all of this & this, straight

above that noise, in line
of sight with the horizon

& the candlewick burning down
to a low glow.

To unleash everything
that might have been,

a speck of radiation,
a silent overture

to that which never concludes
but rises

& rises
