In this ancient light
The spirits of fisher folk
Dancing on the lake
In the antique shop
on the ground floor
of the building
where my parents lived
the year they married
I thought I heard someone
call my name
as if I lived there
too, so long before
my birth in the camp.
The spring wind sputters,
too tired to raise a ruckus,
bored already.

between life and death
is not a border,
but eternity,
not a doorway
to an endless future,
but an escape
from the chains of time,
not a shattering,
but a mending,
not the end of the line,
but a circle,
closing.
A sunlit patch in winter
the wild song of geese
