29. a zoologist of copes. an explorer of the far reaches of the land of cope. a collector of the many strange and abundant variety of copes. a sprawling menagerie of copes. layer upon layer of cope stacked upon cope stacked precariously upon cope. a crowd chanting COPE IS DESTINY
30. the fringe, the edges, scurrying, scratching, the loud tap-tap of sandals on concrete, the itch of the uncanny in the periphery, gnawing, unsettled, nowhere home, everywhere alien, unsafe, no promises no guarantees no rainbows, disoriented grief for what never was
31. unwavering fealty to unspoken axioms, precommitment, unconscious contract signed in forgotten moments long ago, this is law, this is fate, cannot question cannot inspect cannot alter, a tunnel leading onwards from here to there without exit
32. absorbing the logic and mathematics and poetry of where a trees limbs fold upwards away from ground, counting limbs, three or five or a seven turning into two or four, width shrinking upwards, the endless surprises offered by tree bark geometry, letting one's eyes run over it
33. the page has turned, chapter ended, no going back, no innocence, no alterations, no deft negotiations with the girding of reality, all cards played, no moves left, pit in stomach, resignation, back against wall, trapped again in the net of reality from which we never left
34. kneeling, a forehead kiss, a goodbye, her back, swish, the pump of air from the door closing, the silence, the stillness, the solitude, the empty pit in the left of the stomach, its veins and folds and wrinkles, a wooden chestnut, or perhaps a carcass. the sorrow.
35. the funk band, the dark corner, a harpist, strumming, fingers running, ordinary, as if folding laundry or opening a door—yet magical, transported, to sometime somewhere somewhen not here, a world not opened until found
36. when it was simple, summer days, long walks, no obligations, endless possibility, sunshine, state parks, mysteries, secrets, longings, even boredom, companions of proximity, an intimacy even there, mates, oddities on the edge making do
37. shouting, loud, running through the halls, a square loop of left and left and left and left, chased, always chased, bigger, red veins pulsing and popping, anger unexplained and inexplicable, undeserved yet present nonetheless, no escape, only more running
38. not in finest form, messes and problems piling, out of peripheral vision, irrevocable magnetism, the pull to glance away, anywhere else, but when glanced directly, an apparition, vanished, nothing substantive, everything soluble
39. a corridor, a set of stairs, a basement, a trapdoor, the crawlspace, a flashlight, beam, shimmying, scrunched, elbows, knees, dirt, forwards, found, box, open, hiss and click and steam, eyes gaze upon it unbelieving
40. the house he'd never own, the studio, the library, the humble temple, the bed on the floor, the kitchen of ordinary splendor, everything everywhere folding in and out of spacetime into transdimensional cabinets of infinite capacity. who would live there, love there?
41. the comfort of an old friendship, the familiarity, well-worn grooves of time edged into the rhythms of their days and the caverns of the hearts, the intimacy of brotherhood and sisterhood, nothing hidden, everything out in the open, secrets known, and yet still more...
42. underneath it all there it was to be found, the bind, the wrinkle, the teeming fester, fed by its secrecy, nourished by the darkness, sheltered by time—ugliness, rot, decay of something that could have been beautiful—healed only by direct contact of eyes and hearts
43. on seeing a person—awe, reverence, devotion, knees bending at the pew, hand over heart in front of altar, seeing wondrous divinity in every heart, stories in every face, beauty resplendent like a sunset, simultaneously unique and universal—sacred, always, each and every one
49. souls as spheres, gazing before a mirror portal, swirling light and colors, in and around edges, vortices of divine qualities, amassed, amassing, growing, bending, twirling, flexing, stretching, pulsing, emanating, pouring in and out of bodies, lifetimes, worlds, realms
50. dancing girl, waist high jean shorts, her sparkles, oscillating golden pink curls, feet bouncing, sway, whole body rhythm, tender melody thick surge beat, heart pulsing unspoken playground wisdom, life simply play joy, relief satisfaction fulfillment medicine
51. swirling purple black sphere, heart open eyes open hands dancing, compassion medicine listening, wounds heard and healed, presence discernment picking wisdom fruits from tree of life, old soul, old friend, met again, time after time, life after life, till love fulfillment
52. red-pink swirl, love eyes, parallax view, other side of coin, left eye right eye, wisdom left heart strength right heart, grandmother soul wrinkles laid bare on smooth sweet face, magic footsteps, roots unfolding forest walk, gifts seen, braided web woven into destiny
53. fierce lion, tree body, roots deep, breath is wind is charge is fire, abdomen speaking, not far now, strength bestowed as gift, loving heart unafraid of action, grandfatherly kindness not childish niceness, stubborn love, unending courage, moments are lifetimes, decades aeons
56. bittersweet, tender, melancholy, honest, witnessing, heartbroken, all former hopes lost and yet somehow still hope, sunrise, surging, pulse, apex of possibility, confidence, unimagined power, unimagined futures, my heart
58. sunlight streaming through the precipice, fierce vibration of possibility, whispered danger, tremors of cataclysmic unraveling—yet total safety from the very ground of the fundament, symphonic order, divine majesty made manifest—swirling wonder, awe, hope as clouds in air
59. echoes, pounding onset, pulsing ascent, throbbing physics, the rise, the brandish, senseless whispers all around, the rising slide upwards, the release downwards, the bubbling melody, the flourishing beat, the bouncing counterpoint….
68. city cemetery all quiet leaves scattered autumnal scent hum heat cars distant unheard grief summons tears flow light rises tension dropping whole swelling faith in heart tenderness of presence excruciating blessing of now
72. listening presence attention watching feeling question asking curiosity following prodding gesture calling out metaphor comparison trusting memory aliveness body wisdom deep knowing resonance field clarity response responsiveness rhythm healing soothe witness resolution
73. pull of yearning, push of resistance, oblique clarity mysterious knowing, the timely oscillation of free will and fate, invocation of what is longed for and simultaneous resignation to what must be, the acceptance of what is alongside hope in what might yet still be
