In the Indeterminate

ships & voyages moons & suns unknown denominators water & earth
maps & compasses the soul in a star a fly buzzes

to reduce darkness enter a snowflake

books & umbrellas clouds & silence the melody of breath leaves & blossoms
the architecture of a circle

Joan of Arc outside a Cornell box

postcards & threads eagles & bears sculpt the door roads & rivers
dissonant the harmony solace in a lantern
