Through Dark

coruscations of the numinous

come from somewhere

courting the dust of ashes

OK love, take over this wheel
keep near the earth
do right by place
without veering from the path
that way lies hoof prints,
the dark enlarging light

courtyard full of laughter
or kisses where they stray,
the unaccountable ones

with particular intensity

Let caress outweigh blow

How to be here otherwise

She said he ought to see
what he was doing
and how it opened the sky

She was from the beginning
now you understand
wit in the house of the holy
where everything is
where it claims to be
welcoming not seeking

now I have finished

long ago was I beginning

out of zero’s void
