Wingsong:
-Maggid Andrew Ramer
I carry you on my back
I carry every one of you
who has died
on my back
You are not a burden
your weight is exalting
each one of you
is another feather
in my arched wings
You carry me
every one of you
carries me higher and higher
into my life
into the physical life
I live
for every one of you
When I sleep, you sleep too
when I dance, you dance too
when I pray, you are praying with me
and every time I kiss another man
each one of you
pressed up behind my lips
is drinking too
swan, hummingbird, egret, eagle
drinking
I drink for all of you
I live with all of you
together, together, together,
all of us are
drinking
living
flying
