from BARDO

The stars are in our belly; the Milky Way our umbilicus.

Is it a consolation that the stuff of which we’re made

is star-stuff too?


– That wherever you go you can never fully disappear –

dispersal only: carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen.


Tree, rain, coal, glow-worm, horse, gnat, rock.

the walking is the road



'Traveller, your footprints
are the road, and nothing more;
traveller, there is no road,
the road is made by moving.'

Antonio Machado
