saturday shopping list - october 9th

teacup of miniature escheverias in 12th scale, by tinyminds

"i have come to a still, but not a deep center,

a point outside the glittering current;

my eyes stare at the bottom of a river,

at the irregular stones, iridescent sandgrains,

my mind moves in more than one place,

in a country half-land, half-water.

i am renewed by death, thought of my death,

the dry scent of a dying garden in september,

the wind fanning the ash of a low fire.

what i love is near at hand,

always, in earth and air."

~ theodore roethke, 'the far field'

saturday shopping list - august 7th

amor gown, by ktjean

"-- or to lie naked in sand,

in the silted shallows of a slow river,

fingering a shell,

thinking:

once i was something like this, mindless,

or perhaps with another mind, less peculiar;

or to sink down to the hips in a mossy quagmire;

or, with skinny knees, to sit astride a wet log,

believing:

i'll return again,

as a snake or a raucous bird,

or, with luck, as a lion.

i learned not to fear infinity,

the far field, the windy cliffs of forever,

the dying of time in the white light of tomorrow,

the wheel turning away from itself,

the sprawl of the wave,

the on-coming water."
