Makers
Making songs of birth and death,
of laughs and tears, our myriad makers
made stays against distress.
Crafters’ arts of speech and scripts
that harmonize the then and now
wove sacred with profane.
As troubadours remaking rites,
they made enchanting courtly lyrics,
made sex our making love.
“Maker” is the Greek word for “Poet.”
