Nestless Birds

there where the world’s most eloquent speech 

is taking shape in the head of a mute 

 

there where the aura is so dense 

that it grates pain into a white powder 

 

there where raw soft inklings 

in the convolutions of the brain 

ripen into a sturdy tower of thought 

 

there where a rainbow 

becomes a pier for longings 

 

there where the birds have no nests 

yet can fly  

in one swoop 

                       beyond  

                                    infinity
