"A hopeful & complex human sort we would all like to see a bit of
ourselves in

The woman who is the poem is a mixture of intrigued & baffled -
alone & surging with company - an anecdote-hound"

    in a golden glow
    I reside tween shades of green
    my inner garden

    One day
    the Creator saw me alone,
    so alone.

    He made me sleep,
    he made me dream
    out in the fields of maize,

    and he wrenched a rib out of me...

    Upon waking,
    in front of me
    ---gorgeous, naked, made of clay and corn,
    scented like a mountain---

    my poetry.

    -- 'Awakening' by Humberto Ak'abal, trans. by Michael Bazzett

    "Blocks filled with stories,
    with people,
    a community.

    A past,
    a present,
    a future.

    Here."

    GEWITTERSCHWÜLE schwert die Luft
    Wolken liegen dicht wie Rauch
    Linden senden sanften Duft
    nach einem laufend GARTENSCHLAUCH
    streckt sich sanft der KATZE
    Tatze

    long concert on the trellis
    a blackbird's goodbye

    "while in heaven right next door somebody has plugged
    a radio into a long extension cord and music from the local radio station has scared
    the raccoons away and bushels of corn are picked by a woman who loves the feel
    of the perfect ears in her hands because this is her heaven you see not the heaven
    of raccoons"
