this I'd meant to tell you (if you ever listened)
How then should I your true love know
from another one?
A voice, a message, a promise,
a wrong to be righted, a future.
Moving in the forest at night
towards a conclusion, and an end to oppression.
May he reach you from the ends of the earth,
humming-bird caught in his hair.
from "Shining Cliff", by Peter Riley.

(and I still mean to, I still. Listen.)
