She, the heroine,
in the still of her own life–

Waiting, still, waiting,
the unbearable lightness
of life between homes.

Stranger to near self,
he tracked existential crumbs
to a chance verdict.

Thinning of the veils,
ghost engaging girl to dance–
No partner needed.

Near

So near to this thing,
this love, chastened, on shore’s edge–
Forever, dear, yes.

Breadth

Brigman V
To revel in awe,
just cause for breathing deep, slow,
breadth taking you in.

Constellate

Brigman IV
To see the stars,
in daytime, like a siege
of radiant, glyphic  minnows
constellating upon the surface of a lake,
this, the child’s gift
to vision, undisturbed.

Roots

Brigman I
Some launches
do not require
propulsion
but rather firm
solid rootedness
to
this floating world.
