music reaches directly into the softcore of my being
life is beautiful and in puddles
.
gathering gumption for growth and decay
music reaches directly into the softcore of my being
life is beautiful and in puddles

…
Great emptiness as
simple as that went
So straight before-
had not been able
then not being idle
went absent away
Now faith is not what we
hereafter have we have a
world resting on nothing
Rest was never more than
abstract since it is empty
reality we cannot escape
…
from “Souls of the Labadie Tract” by Susan Howe
swaying girth
spanning time
brief pockets of sun
(the streaming kind)
lantern domes make muffled sounds
(momentarily illuminating mine)
flickering embers in campfire’s bowl
little lapping, licking flames
jamming survival in newborn coal
this fire is never tame
