like a kiri wood door opening
the resonant center

Kintsugi

We sing song of old
pearled on tongue
behind crack in iridescent smile
forgetting cost of first find
in mobius strip of moire mind.

Copper corrodes,
becomes beautiful,
new blue laid on gold of old.

Lack fills with silver, gold, brass,
shouts out broken bits
in swing of life.

It is taste of break that aches the egg of find.

~ Smith

i am a wildcat a hare a roadrunner.
you are a motel, a mountain ridge, a loudspeaker
all of you amplifies coyotes heartbeat to the canyons.
