Melting icecaps, warming oceans, setting sun, sleep

Neruda, Leviathan.
Antarctic outland, nearing or passing me – an ice field displacing the darkness – one day I shall enter your walls, I shall rear on the sunken marine of your winter, your armory .

When we go down to the low-tide line, we enter a world that is as old as the Earth itself – the primeval meeting place of the elements of earth and water, a place of compromise and conflict and eternal change.



Mary Oliver Sleeping in the Forest.
All night the dark buds of dreams open richly. In the center of every petal is a letter, And you imagine if you could only remember And string them all together


Mary Oliver Sleeping in the Forest
I slept as never before, a stone on the riverbed, Nothing between me and the white fire of the stars But my thoughts, and they floated light as moths Among the branches of the perfect trees.
