Meditative spiritual piece for the homeless, the disenfranchised

lyrics

Slow as congress, as war,
Though the inner pace careens,
A business, the same leftover
Business picking up as if
The start were different--
This is the rumor of change,
This, a fresh breath,
Blowing progress back
Backwards angel,
Progress, the storm,
& I saw a guy, sweet
Jesus, fallen
Streetblown
Onto a sewer before
     Some bus
Picked him up then
     Circled, circled
'round & 'round 'cause
it was lost

     but he didn't know this
     he was sleeping
     sleeping easy, salvation
     in the motion, dark
     windows,
     night city, lights
     kind of like tears, star
     spirals, star echoes, the speed

of sound, & I, a seat behind,
just as quiet,
listened & watched
for the way
an angel may wake,
come together
with this pattern
blowing blowing
over the sky oceans old
