Issue: "whisper me free"
snow-lit grove
with chickadees perched
on our palms
you kiss me
softly on my forehead
like a blessing
equinox
otters chirp
to each other in passing
even the smallest
moments of grace
sustain me
deserted beach
a tangled fort
of burnished driftwood
empty now,
except for shadows
and possibilities
I cast the runes
in search of something
indefinable
they tell me
I must learn to make
my own magic

I unfold my origami self / and swim into a lake of fire / washing my hair in ashes / the crane-legged words / of a thousand burning poems.
