In a grander way - the calculus of the world might issue some decree of inherent and necessary separation,

The explosion of connection too great for love
and somehow not for evil;

That we relegate and discover the radical power of connection under the guise of destruction.

I wonder how it comes to exist: that what exists does in my mind, 

that the reality far beyond my body may inhabit it 

and in moments swell and overcome it, 

for I touch the earth and it touches me, 

I am not touched by a single thought, 

or I am only touched by thought. 

25

I look tired because I am.

Katie Shoer and her childlike charm would woo that part of you that wished never to move on, the seduction of suspension, the same feeling of an ant stuck in sugar water, such people make death sweet, there's that to thank them for. She didn't know, or care.

Collar color on the riverbed sand like stones, 

rounded beneath the heavy sky, clear then cloudy, 

in the masted bits, in the spiracles in the rounded melts, 

in the deep sea where cast upon the back of dead lay freezing, 

lay the brown to silt never stirred never stirring still, and loose, 

and yet, 

together underneath the rock and stony crabs, 

and the way they all would scuttle about, the sound, 

of seacaves:

when as a little boy I’d shout just to hear the muffle of the algeaic walls,

 these are the colors of our sphere, our dot,

and though the light may not touch us in the same way twice it's still a million years old,

and that we have mirrors to conceive it's bouncing,

the bouncing of light light and water,

playing on the surface of that river,

that river bedded with rocks rounded by time the muse

the muse is time the muse is water 

themselves lovers so eternal they've worn down all the edges of their beds with their love making

so too the sky the wind with rock 

no harder lover is there than the rock and yet, 

the shapes the make together! 

The things the wind can get the rock to do! 

So beautiful so intimate so wonderful so glorious bright and bending.

22

What are you doing here?! 

Go stand out in the wind, go let the elements carry you off.

You've always had a desire to travel.

Water that it might flow in a way down from on high for that is the want of god for that is the will of god to show in such a casual way that the heights are not so great that even if we fall we are returned to some greater course always becoming some greater force a part of the larger and this is the gift; that when all else is perceived to fail in the mind of man there are basic truths that give us purpose, that in the end we are fuel of some sort that is eventually and always used to advance the cause of earth. There is a built-in fail-safe for this reason there is always some greater place and that greater place is ever-present.
