Poets on street corners
bend back bars
for people passing
to witness, to signal
the sound of a heart
beating in time with eternity
—the single revelation
of a new believer
turning to see
who calls them now.

I LOVE this poem–and hearing you speak it is an added bonus. Beautiful.
Thanks Connie – I felt somehow the poem came full circle when spoken. I heard they were meant to be oral. Not sure why or if that applies to other forms of writing, but with poetry for sure, there is a fullness in being heard. – Blessings, Dayna
