I took photos that evening, blurred
as they were. As if the essence
could be borne into the light beyond the threshhold.
I listened to your music six thousand
kilometres from home,
rocked to sleep in the glow of the intercom,
pre- and post-lingually.
It rained outside without me knowing
but the clouds broke suddenly unknowingly
too, by the involuntary seism(powers).
Glazed ceramics / pulse truth / white
magnolias / deep time
Will you hold the me who is adrift-in-the-sea?
