A Lesson
Photo by Joao
Light recedes.
So do blood & breath In the pained fields of memory.
You stand alone with your Incomprehension and blindness
Seeking consolation For things that can’t be explained.
Observe how the tree goes within itself, And becomes a talisman for the winter sky.
You too must learn.

Facing The Horizon
Photos by Joao
Don’t look away. Now that the day is ending,
We don’t have much time In the continuum of time
Before distance between us Grows, and we recede again
Into the masks of strangers, hoping To meet later, perhaps, on a street
Corner somewhere in paradise Or in purgatory on our way down.
Don’t look away As the shadows of our veins
Embroider the sky with a story. Your story. My story.
Also this may be the appropriate music to go with these words.

X Ray
Photo by Joao. For full effect,view it large
Yellow light imprints silhouettes Of leaves
Fluttering from the branches Of trees, and memories
Of trees, against the far wall Made of bone.
Look! How giant this moment grows, As it unfurls into the sky,
And passes into the next one.
