Under the Influence of Emily

Under the Influence of Emily Lost to the blue of distance,I consider the spacemy words will rest—on the page before someone,known or not,or within the commons sharedbetween you, perhaps, and me—and recall a certain summer picnicby a riot of wildflowers lavishly decoratedwith a living garland of bumblebees.

Arrival of the Moment

She found that it helpedto stare long and far,unhurried, wide of thought,deep of heart,to ease the restlessnessof hope; instead embracingthe arrival of the moment:the breath, the wind that firstbloomed in the great everlasting, firstgathered offerings for the senses,compressing the large into the nowbefore presenting the gift.
