The Secret
Written by Fr. Pier Giorio di Cicco   
Wednesday, 26 April 2006

Who will bury me with this secret
that makes me sing,

bury me with this heart
that is my mouth,
my grief?

Who will take me from the
goldenrod, in any season,
and show me I was?

I have leapt past my own grave
with a song like my
bones, for
all.

And when I am gone, and have stones for eyes
and my body becomes
a farewell, I shall be redeemed
for love of
the world.
