For her song and flight, Echo is torn apart,      art
flung limb by singing limb.
      Each valley swallows,      allows
her voice.
      In another tale, a flame enchants      chance
encounters
Narcissus, who never returns,      turns
her love to stone.
      Rocks, caves, dens, the hollow      hollow
of bones become her home
the old echoes,      O's
that round our inner lives like the concentric
      trick
rings inside trees, reverberate for years,
      our ears
Our voices rise and leave, traveling,
      raveling,      veiling
currents across the sea, longing to reach
      each
Atlantis, locate shapes that sounds recall
      call
back the world, as it was first encountered,
      heard.
