Chinked cedar



"Yet what puzzles me the most
Is my unwavering taste
For these dim, weathery ghosts..."

The way through



"...grass snakes like soft signs
in the Russian language disappear
into thickets."

Captive



"'I have been told that beneath the Throne is an angel in the form of a rooster, with talons of pearl and a breast of green chrysolite.'"

From a translation featured on David Larsen's Writing Gathering Field.

***

As ever, too much to do with work and school - I was up before the rooster crowed.
But I hope you are well, and happy.
