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.
