from
authenticity
not anxiety
consecration
not concentration
below
not above

Here
Listen:
I take a knife
to cut the river
in two
I stop the wind
to ask
why
I trust
what I cannot
name
Juice
Listen:
I want to be
liquid
in the way
I move
supple
not dry
tasteless
hard
not out of
juice
Needle
Listen:
a button waits
a needle hums
a thread whispers
through the eye
calm ascends
the button holds
as I
take time
to mend
Nothing Between
Listen:
no
time
no
story
no
us
Oops
Listen:
there goes a leaf
windblown
across the frozen lake
funny I should notice
a slip, a slid
and gone
a hint of now
of me
a lightness of being
an
oops
Arrow
Listen:
the pull
the bow
the aim
the unknown
the life
I know
Hermit of Brittle Air
Listen:
born to break
the grip of no
of crowd
a vow
on the wind
of why
a breath
of light
within
