Every day you're given a task
a secret gift you must unmask.
It's always there, on your best days and worst.

It's the real reason you exist
to see that of which you consist:
Cosmos observing itself from within.

Everything else matters little:
a firm hold on something brittle
that crumbles inevitably in time.

"a flapping song

from skyward crows treadmilled.
We sing the symptoms,

we sound the wind."

A poet
condenses
what they know

into forms
with constraints:
with known rules.

Their language
is chosen
carefully.

"A hopeful & complex human sort we would all like to see a bit of
ourselves in

The woman who is the poem is a mixture of intrigued & baffled -
alone & surging with company - an anecdote-hound"

    One day
    the Creator saw me alone,
    so alone.

    He made me sleep,
    he made me dream
    out in the fields of maize,

    and he wrenched a rib out of me...

    Upon waking,
    in front of me
    ---gorgeous, naked, made of clay and corn,
    scented like a mountain---

    my poetry.

    -- 'Awakening' by Humberto Ak'abal, trans. by Michael Bazzett

    "Blocks filled with stories,
    with people,
    a community.

    A past,
    a present,
    a future.

    Here."

    GEWITTERSCHWÜLE schwert die Luft
    Wolken liegen dicht wie Rauch
    Linden senden sanften Duft
    nach einem laufend GARTENSCHLAUCH
    streckt sich sanft der KATZE
    Tatze

    "I choose, for moderate comfort, a thin tree
    whose tallest branch has yet one leaf
    hunched brown. A flag? Defiance? Obstinance?
    A declaration I suppose.
    I make it mine."

    "while in heaven right next door somebody has plugged
    a radio into a long extension cord and music from the local radio station has scared
    the raccoons away and bushels of corn are picked by a woman who loves the feel
    of the perfect ears in her hands because this is her heaven you see not the heaven
    of raccoons"
