FAQ
Where does beauty register in the body.
In the chest, the heart, and the forehead.
Why, when looking at a beautiful thing
do we close our eyes, sighing.
To make the pleasure more private,
but also, to sketch the lines of what we saw
so we can bring them back.
Why does beauty prompt a twinge of pain.
Because it isn’t yours. Nothing is.

This Wide Quietness
This Wide Quietness
Making a mountain
into a garden
requires three things:
you eyeballing
your terrain, distance
you condense
by blurring your vision,
and a mountain.
Stone could be moss,
snow and rocks
can become flowers
if enough hours
you devote to gentle
attention. Fennel
flowers, blush and plum
foxgloves, come
closer. You want more
beauty to care for.
