In the forest,
interstitial spaces
house healing hands.

And
the sounds you
cannot
help utter.

Voice effects
are nothing
like acapella.

Imagine
Hastiin Hozhó
sing
fun’s “We Are Young.

”Bonjour mon ami.
RM knows more French than me.
That will not stop me
from getting lost in Pari.

The sounds
you
cannot
help utter.

They fill
the stars
between
each continent.

Better
dreams
for the
travellers.
