Adventure Story
We all blinked into the raw sun. Rays shimmered through crystals that melted on our hot cheeks, ruddy with endurance and all the grim peering into ordered schedules, isolation. Lambasting identities with solitary confinement: Who are you with most everything taken away? All the relays of self, synapses snapping in conversation among so many now absent—the silence offers only the abundance of itself and no opinions, no reply. Yet in the sun, we find ourselves reformed with everything we thought was lost or taken away. What beckons is some new wholeness if we can bear the sudden strangeness of ourselves in the opening hours that keep caring. What is emerging is an immense array of all we recognize and much we don’t, but contemplate in the rising light.

Let Yourself End
The view is just beyond the ridge. It is sunny, the snow not deep. Your body carries the true angels: the mottled shade the beams breaking through needle and snag

The Blue Dragon
There weren't always dragons in the Valley. They had emerged from the river cliffs of Gren Amar during an unprecedented cosmic event of starlight showers eons ago. Since then, the dragons negotiated their heavenly beginnings with their lives on land. It required the movement of stars and the transforming power of earth. It required huge feats of courage and even more exacting rites of surrender.

Hagia Sophia
Isidore, Anthemius architects encapsulate a dream bare, billowing upon itself a transverse, square pendentive dome — the best answer to the excessive angles or weak focus.

Sea Pines, Family Reunion, Mourning
Sea Pines Sea pines, short trees wading in winter storm water we walk anyway through the mossy brittle branches knowing this is the place of deer hooves crows cracking clams in the parking lot and waves: which way is west

Dia Pason Symphonia
Dia Pason Symphonia I thumbed through the pages; avoided the end. The volume was thin, maybe I’d finish it in a flight with my feet nowhere near the earth but moving fast through clouds with the smooth stretch higher than I could survive

Snowfall, Nebula, Healing
Snowfall The crumpled leaves flying past my window turned to larger snowflakes and the falling had more intention. My heart chased after many desires until I stopped to watch them all fall, together filling the sky

Funeral
Holy Mother, your stars glisten over death and the pine box stars descend from your hands. The sky throws columns up around the way from the chapel to the grave.

Rest Stop
Your dreams follow you even though last season’s despair is thick over the surface not sludge but mulch slowly dissolving from its protective density

Confluo
The spring melt loosens all of winter’s resolutions and the day flows with forgiveness as if March is really the start of the new year.

Map
There are bits of sky scattered throughout. Nothing is hidden— all the parts make new dimensions through which histories pass.

Unaddicted
To make a life in the stillness the simple waking after sleep. The day’s duties are gentle and arrayed in various hours. I glide like a skater to noon
