Absorb
Each singular and alone,
one to the other, the rocks
large and small; the cliff face
also allows her to absorb them
entirely.
Shrubs and trees, small framings
absorbed whose twig trunk and,
leaf by leaf applaud. Stillness
is the applause that she,
in her own surrounding
way is still and not still
in this oneness; each
singular and alone
one to the other absorb:
the stepping step and
the camera moves on.

A Photo With The Answers
These moments come to me,
a small vibe, a tender unexplained thing.
Today, unlike so many other times,
I have the answer. It was you, dear child
on a seashore. It came from you
across rocks and ocean, and more land
and possibly a lake. But it arrived,
that big wave, a whisper of air
by the time it reached me.
Your small hand raised into the big
receiving sky which then manifest itself
as something warm, a small quivering.
I call that a Petra vibe, a tender quiver
explained now and cherished; little vibe,
vibrating in my heart forever. But look
your shadow sent me a wave too.
My heart is very full.
