Cadence

for Beatrice

i want
she said
to see
the sentence
not unfinished
but changed
mid-flight
softly gathering
its forgotten 
bloom together
with swallows
and stars
with arias
oceans and
cathedral spires
children’s prayers
and acts
of mercy
to see
once more
her mother
will be
to see
in full
as she
the seer
is 
fully 
seen
