If I were a perfect person, I would be bowing
continuously.
I’m not, though I pause wherever I feel this
holiness, which is why I’m so often late coming
back from wherever I went.

Forgive me.

Sometimes everything
has to be
inscribed across
the heavens

so you can find
the one line
already written
inside you.

Sometimes it takes
a great sky
to find that

first, bright
and indescribable
wedge of freedom
in your own heart.

And have you too finally figured out what beauty is for?
And have you changed your life?

When you are already here
you appear to be only
a name that tells of you
whether you are present or not

and for now it seems as though
you are still summer
still the high familiar
endless summer

This is the 4th issue of Humana Obscura to include a piece from me. I love this publication- it is simple, gorgeous, peaceful—a balm of beauty and stillness in these crazy times.

Even though I ache
as summer begins to bring down its curtain
Even though I gasp
to see this light blaze by

My breath is caught in Thank You

Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you

The vault above
in its vast
separateness
now shares
the firmament
with the ever-reaching mountains: pointy, painted horizon: white-tipped, jagged line across the sky.
