katrintheresaOne more because it’s midnight:
“It is an air you enter, not an act you make.
It is the will's frustration, and is the will's fruition.
It is to wade a blaze one night that I once crossed
— a young man, and lost— to find a woman made of weather sweeping the street in front of her shack.
It is another country.
It is a language I don't know.
La por allá, la por allá, I repeat in my sleep.
The over there.
Tired of the mind reaching back in the past for rescue
I praise the day”

Night’s never-ending hum,
Thriving on meadowsweet, mint, and time.
