Two gifts

You pay me
I sell to you
the products of my labors
beneath the surface
lagniappe
I make a gift
of my spirit
there is only one spirit
for humans to give and receive
beyond bargains
and you from
your spirit
make another gift
two gifts
first you add your readings
to my poetry
second you carry off
the product that has
held me, held my space
freeing me
to more, to higher
meeting giving
meeting giving
a respiration
for humanity
