<i>Advance Praise</i> </h2>
<h4 class="goudyoldstyle">
I have known this marvelous poet,
Moisés Villavicencio Barras, for many years. It is a pleasure to finally
see his work published in a bi-lingual edition. His poety reflects
devotion to Mexico, to his native Oaxaca, and to his family. The
histories here, and the mysteries, come from the hand of a poet who
should be read, whomust be heard. One finds here a mind focused on the
beauty of language and the deep song of loveliness and love.<b>—Neeli Cherkovski, author of<i> Leaning Against Time</i></b></h4>
<h4 class="goudyoldstyle">
Read Moisés Villavicencio Barras's poems in <i>Light of All Times </i>and
enter a dark, familiar theater of heartfelt longing. A theater
skillfully built of forceful words and raw beauty. Do not trust the
coyote at the crossing; trust the power of the eye, the ear, and the
heart of this poet.<b> —Bruce Dethlefsen, Wisconsin Poet Laureate 2011-2012</b></h4>
<h4 class="goudyoldstyle">
Moisés Villavicencio Barras's second
collection of poetry offers us in lush, sensual language his childhood
in Oaxaca and his Mazatec ancestors, his family life both there and in
the U. S., and the experience of belonging to both far and near. In
these poems, his<br />
self-reflective vision of living at once in the North and South<br />
awakens us to what is near, just outside the window, and to
what is far, the jaguar in the ravine. He is a poet of such imaginative
grace that, even after I've closed the book, I want to listen and be
vulnerable enough to hear a voice speak this way again. In this bravely
envisioned collection of poems, we read and feel transformed in its

flakes. Two children appeared next to the bicycle, one of them took off the
seat, the other the front rim. A crow settled in what was left of her, after
the children went away. The snow continued falling, but the crow remained,
immovable there on the handlebar. The children returned with screwdrivers and
clamps. Whenever the children tried to approach, the crow pecked and squawked
loudly. As it was parking, a small truck struck the bicycle mortally. It

Un cuervo vino a posarse en lo que quedaba de ella después de que los niños se
fueron. La nieve siguió cayendo, pero el cuervo siguió ahí, inmóvil sobre el
manubrio. Los niños regresaron con desarmadores y pinzas. Cada vez que los
niños trataron de acercarse, el cuervo lanzó picotazos y fuertes graznidos. Al

While widely known in Mexico as a poet and translator, and with a previous<br />book to his credit, he is still relatively unknown in the United States. “We’re excited to<br />help his work gain an audience,” said Busse. And Dethlefsen, as senior Cowfeather<br />author, adds that Villavicencio Barras makes poems “skillfully built of forceful words<br />and raw beauty.” The poems in Luz de Todos los Tiempos/Light of All Times, which<br />appear in Spanish and English together on the page, alternate between Madison and<br />Mexico, between family and the natural world, between grief and celebration. “It’s<br />appropriate that we’re announcing this collection just as we begin to celebrate Dia de los<br />Muertos, the Day of the Dead,” adds Busse. “Villavicencio Barras memorializes his<br />family, with tenderness and joy, but he does not flinch from honesty in these poems.” Luz<br />de Todos los Tiempos/Light of All Times will come out early summer 2013.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #6aa84f;">
never knew shoes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #6aa84f;">
They were the flesh of the road.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #6aa84f;">
When I think about immortality</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #6aa84f;">
I think about its footprints</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #6aa84f;">
on the good mud of San Pedro.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #6aa84f;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #6aa84f;">
I suppose that her coffin</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #6aa84f;">
was the only place</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #6aa84f;">
she wore shoes,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #6aa84f;">
that they didn't fit her</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #6aa84f;">
like they fit those </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #6aa84f;">
molded by the shape</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #6aa84f;">
of leather and shoelaces.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #6aa84f;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #6aa84f;">
Tia, when I saw you on the train</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #6aa84f;">
selling bread barefoot,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #6aa84f;">
you had the enthusiasm of geese,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #6aa84f;">
the force of the Río Tomellín</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #6aa84f;">
in your old legs.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #6aa84f;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #6aa84f;">
Once again I would love</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #6aa84f;">
to go up and down those paths</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #6aa84f;">
and, once in a while,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #6aa84f;">
rest our feet in the swamp</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #6aa84f;">
with mango leaves </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #6aa84f;">
stuck between our toes,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #6aa84f;">
where the round stones lie,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #6aa84f;">
placed by the hands</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #6aa84f;">
of a lonely god.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
En
una esquina de la casa me nacieron tus ojos y tu cuerpo.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Mi
padre dice que fue junto a las brazas, y las alas de la cocina.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Desde
ese rincón me soltaste para dar mis primeros pasos hacia las ciudades.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Desde
ese sitio secreto para los labios del mundo bebí de tu pecho.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
En la
vecindad los otros niños dejaron de jugar en los charcos,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
y la
hierba estreno nuevo domicilio en las banquetas y las alcantarillas.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Fui
el último de una mata de cuatro hijos, el pequeño en tus recuerdos.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
En un
cementerio que ya conocías enterramos el tiempo y tus hilos,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
enterramos
lo que teníamos de ti los tres,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
y
ahora dejo mi aliento en el invierno de una ciudad que se levanta mientras
corro,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
mientras
en otra ciudad mi padre vacila y mi hermano no te encuentra</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
sentada
silbando sola en el bosque de tamaridos de sus propios recuerdos.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Me
divertía buscar piedras rojas y redondas en el patio de la nuestra casa,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
porque
tu voz observándome sonaba a enojo y
arenales.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Madre
desde tu espalda muda ví al río jugar con los ameneceres.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Me
gustaría otra vez la música de tu cintura en los desiertos del miedo.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Me
gustaría otra vez un vaso de tu niñez.</div>

yo te visito desde mi casa de

visito a altas horas como el ciervo
al agua.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
No
voy más allá de mi rostro y de
prisa por la nieve.</div>

en
las ciudades sin latido de tierra y mangales,</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
and even in your death we

When I go out into the street

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
I pedal my bicycle in the

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
I talk to you when your

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
I talk to you if one piece of
a cloud gets stuck in the window.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
I also go out with my foreign
footsteps.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
I also go out without my soul
to contemplate the world.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
I am someone I was not in my
faraway city.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
I have walked and unwalked
the routes</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
of things that surrounded me
since infancy.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
I have tied my roots to the
cement of our house.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
I don’t yield and I don’t
fall in the seconds.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
I travel like you Mother
wrapped</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
in the dialogues of plums and
streams.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Mother I think of those
stories at high hours</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
next to the coffee and
flames.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
You spoke of your arrival and
the first sons</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
that you bore and buried
without knowing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
From very early on you
learned how to write in screams.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Little by little I got to
know your ghosts:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Tío Abel, Tía Evelia.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
They told me stories of
gunshots</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
where more than one lost his
life.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Others were stories of
drowned children and</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
distracted young women who
ignored</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
the power of warm transparent
waters.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
The one that still wanders in
my memory</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
is the history of the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Santero</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Dead from being stoned in
beautiful plains.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman Italic";">A
landscape of blood and plaster was that Sunday</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman Italic";">when the
robbers kill him.</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
I don’t tire of the story
either</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Pepe Neri</i> the strange creature of the town</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Master of the whistle </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
I still see him stepping</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Naked and absent along the
banks of the stream</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
with the same luck as the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Santero</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Mother now I understand </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
the faith with which you went
to the cemetery</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Mother you fought alone in
the vacant lands</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Of eternity , without a
daughter’s hand.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
My mother liked rainy days,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
and the smell of clay in her
dark window.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
She liked the things that the
rain said.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
The rain was a train of water,
a pure pounding of distance.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
In her childhood my mother
crossed walls,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
it was like walking among
flames with bare feet.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
There were also episodes of
blood and ash,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
days of walking without the
soul in place.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
She told me of journeys that
she took to cure herself,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
and to build her persistence
of an <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">acahual.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Nobody read her stories she
lived them.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
I ignore God’s motives but
you were in his territory</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
of gray polar wells with
doors cracked open,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
of drops of fire that bleed
through,<br />
of so many untuned pianos and lions’ teeth.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
You were already supported
with more than two feet.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Mother I hope that death</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
puts you in the place you
were looking for</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
and that it is real because
God</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
is enraged with the weak and
those with good intentions.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
God listens to gunblasts and
not prayers.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Is clumsier than a badger
crossing the boulevard</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Your illnesses became you,
faithful, punctual.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
They could be heard inside
you</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
like blind doves.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
One of them made you fall</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
in a dream that you didn’t
return </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
to our table in the kitchen,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
to our lights and our
dream-filled conversations,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
like the time of lemons in
Grandmother’s immune patio.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
I see adobe walls and I stop.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
I see what you already don’t
see.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
I am in the hands of my
memories spinning,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
like a stone down the cliffs
of my dreams.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Sometimes your grandson
speaks of you </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
as if you were a few steps
away.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
He asks me who is going to
wear your clothes, your shoes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Who is going to water your
plants?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Sometimes your grandson draws
flowers </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
and no one brings them to you.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
He draws paths from your tomb.</div>
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt;"><br clear="ALL" style="mso-column-break-before: always;" />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
My father said that he
already saw you</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
walking in the high prairies
with Tía Evelia.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
On days like today thoughts
become abysses</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
and one doesn’t do anything
but ponder the brink.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
You were the lone hare in the
snowfields</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
between yellow nocturnal eyes</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
of a god without direction,
but you didn’t tire.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
In these lands nobody knows
of you and the evening</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
in a provincial cemetery,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
nobody knows that the men and
women</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
that accompanied you died a
little.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Again, I open my gaze.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Again, I open the door of
answers and call you</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
daughter, sister, grandmother,
wife, aunt of half the world.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
The men and women that
carried you had wings.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Mother I couldn’t be next to
your bed with you,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
but in the crow’s footfalls
in the snow</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
I recognize the depth of the
things</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
that come near us and
separate us.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Be content Mother</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
you are not the bird anymore,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
you are flight.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
