Broken ivories	A
playing	B
the blue piano	C
of the sea	A
	-
We have come	D
from the bitter city	A
to heal ourselves	A
We have come	D
looking for a patch of beach	E
not yet built into a fortress	A
of real estate greed	F
a coral reef	G
not yet picked clean	H
of buried treasure	I
not yet bare of birds	A
	-
The first night in the Keys	A
I dreamed I was a bird	J
soaring over a hilly city	A
soaring dipping	B
like a gull or egret	K
I thought	L
'Ah this is a flying dream	M
Enjoy it '	-
	-
But I really think	N
that my soul	O
has been transported	P
for a night	Q
into the body of	R
a bird	J
I was flying	B
	-
I woke up	S
exhausted	P
arms weary	A
eyes red	T
The beach was dazzling	B
with its white sand	U
the sun blinding	B
I seemed to know the palm trees	A
from above	R
as well as below	C
	-
They root in the sand	U
with elephant feet	V
yet they also root	W
their delicate fronds	A
in air	X
these are a comfort	Y
as you fly	Z
half bird half human	A2
through a dream of sky	Z
	-
Everything was new	B2
to a spirit	K
so divided	P
between two kingdoms	A
The water was alive	C2
with fish	D2
the air with birds	A
palm fronds	A
clouds thunderous presences	A
of rain	E2
gathering parting	B
fiery sun playing through	B2
	-
I knew	B2
that I stood	F2
on a patch of earth	G2
connected to the sky	Z
that my heart beat	V
with the sea	A
that my arms moved	H2
with the clouds	A
that my flesh	I2
was finally irrelevant	J2
though it surrounded me	A
as the case of a piano	C
surrounds its strings	A
while the fingers play	K2
on the ivory keys	A
the human music	L2
rises to the sky	Z
