The private completion — a small refrain

A spoken-word lyric sketch from the Things we can finish cycle.

Verse

A page can hold a question
without closing up the sky.
I turn to the private completion
and let the quick reply pass by.

Refrain

Close the cover gently; the world can keep its light.
Let the room keep breathing.
Let the words arrive.
Leave a little space for what is still alive.
