Anagram of Seeking by Susan Laughter Meyers

to your knees.

each hurt recalled, the heart a siege
of old wounds. If startled by joy, let yourself sing.

each monotone hoot of the owl, a sign-
less clear what can't be seen:
the soul, a spirit, the king of kings?

of tenuous moss, yours. here and now, seine
life's good fish. Child, singe
the night, boldly. O lost see, catch fire and seek. — Susan Laughter Meyers
