FOR JOE SHINN ON HIS
BIRTHDAY
joe shinn said go out and sing
joe shinn he kissed the world
and his kiss made the world somehow human
joe shinn said go out and let the world sing you
joe joe joe shinn
father of the moment
creation's own only child
joe shinn's fingertips
how the Earth tapdances on them
your heart is a language
your heart is where wounded birds land
and rebuild their
empathy
