Celebration of Being
1.
Under an equal moon
I see the mountain lake
as an infinity of reflection
as the center
of a boundless faith
I see the lake and the stride of the moon
loose from me
like vapor
loose from the cove of a skull
These images
without distance
out deep in time
As I remember
I know
the angled wheel
from which my own self
is spun
2.
From a rooftop
I watch gulls weave
over seawall and pine
over a village’s
well-worn paths
