For Susan Birkeland's friends


Waiting for the voices
which will bring her
words new life
Hibbing & Mercy
and stone-hard
coal
and some of my stone-hearted issues
steel-hard
love as noun
love as verb
love as stillness
the stars too far
to hear their
coal hard song
their cosmic hum
so I wait for
the voices
bringing life & melody
to her stardust words
                       
                                                            
for Susan Birkeland’s friends who lovingly, splendidly read her poetry at the recording studio Paradiso
