"The glacier knocks in the cupboard, The desert sighs in the bed, And the crack in the teacup opens A lane to the land of the dead."

-W.H. Auden

With Wings


Spiraling like ancient knowledge

Everything hangs in a still eternal moment, like a pause between breaths. 

...

It was 6:30 in the evening or thereabouts, on April 22, 2019. I had an idea, took a breath, gathered my courage and set it whirling. It hasn't stopped yet.

Driving home today, the same old route in the afternoon sun. A whirl of leaves across the road. A sudden understanding came over me with a shock and a shiver, that this is already the past.
