Coqui: Paradise Reverie

Paradise Reverie
a thing too perfect to be remembered:
sudden croak of the coqui


invisible and concealed
from far or from very close

in the night it is dangerous to listen     at a distance
in the night, listening becomes

living,      coming to assure me     are the sounds of 
nature speaking its name     co     qui


I was healed
free of situations
in the faraway
co     qui       co     qui  co     qui

voices stirring the sky
a strange happiness    suddenly there


sound could slip through it
co qui    binding us      to this night
