Beginning Speech

That child I was
came to me once
an unfamiliar face

He said nothing—we walked
each glancing in silence at the other
One step
an alien river
flowing.

Our common origins
brought us together
and we separated
a forest written by the earth
and told by the seasons

Child that I once was, advance,
What now brings us together?
And what have we to say to each other?
