I am ever amazed, as if for the first time, as I witness once again the sun rising up over the eastern horizon, flowing in like the tide and flooding this shadow world with luminous light. The plants and trees are illumined in it’s glow as it draws shadows of date palms on stucco walls. [...]
The shrill and unsettling cacophony of coyotes Split the dawn sky and shattered the fragile moonbeams Moonbeams of illusion shining softly through the dewdrops That lie dreaming on the skylight of my mind This is not a gentle world There is a disintegration or a tearing apart Of everything that exists In this mad and excruciatingly [...]
