Author�s Partial Preface
These poems are crystals of transformation. Change is too small a word for the mess of transforming, which involves viscous cocoons and dissolving structures and a looming unknown. Transformation is a whispered word with a question mark hidden in its last syllable. Some people welcome change and work for it; fewer want transformation, yet are pulled to it. Transformation always pushes paradox in your face.

Burnt Silence
Every morning the voices of the world fade just a notch lower and the burnt silence rises in volume filling all the air around me filling me last. I don't listen in the burnt silence. There are no pictures either. There is the fire and feeling that bright light around everything that word making everything everything possible. A day with the burnt silence is a day of lifetimes, the entire universe pulsing in two notes of a white throat or the slow greening of a backyard.
