... WITH ALL THINGS NEW ...
… I’d be lying if I didn’t smile.
I see the sad faces, but I can’t help it.
Even when I die, I’m born again,
born again smiling, with all things new,
with and without suffering,
and smiling … Tears no longer bother me,
apathy troubles me more …
QAYAQ
It's noon, & the tide
level waves take the qayaq
into a redder
sun - into a redder sea -
into the salt of Sedna.

THE QASPEQ
Rickrack waves waving,
hand in pocket,
hand doesn't see
what the other one's doing,
along with the truth reveling
raven, reveling when revealed,
sleek little crows, these birds,
sleek in the birch, these words,
sleek outer shells with hoods,
hand reaches heaven.
