flight is always on the brink of
possibility on the radio this morning
and I'm here in the courtyard
with a cup of tea
and three buzzards in a slow circle
over my head, each
primary feather distinct
and me, human, always
at the nexus
of gravity and uplift
I have only these words
Walking the Old Ways : nature, the bardic & druidic arts, holism, Zen, the ecological imagination
from BARDO
The stars are in our belly; the Milky Way
Is it a consolation
is star-stuff too?
– That wherever you go you can never fully disappear –
Tree, rain, coal, glow-worm, horse, gnat, rock.
