  in the balance of the night
memories sharp as knives
the air is filled with cymbals
shucking off the past
  blue light soft on horizons
translation into the other
  the self and 
the self observing the self
echoes of the Carolinian valley
  and the unbound time that ran there
   the willows maples oaks elms
footprints in mud
the moment of passing
   the lie of remembrance
falling into meadows
  grass fires in the summer
   still heat
it’s not the same
  it’s a different same
   same as it could have been
a syrup world of thick light
  eclipsing simple joy
   a hidden life of delicate longing
the seer is the seen
all we have are things we remember
