Pale Lights
09:58
|
|

Pale lights from other islands
slow flashing
through blue dusk
across the water
seeing island shapes
"Who is there?" I call.
A small yelp on the wind
and then
more roaring.

Ocean Roar
02:46
|
|
||
One voice heard low across the water
through ocean roar.
(One chance out between two worlds, walk with me)
Lost in thought
the mind wandering again
drifting west over the hills
(pulled out to sea)
Sitting in the car
after the music stopped abrupt
we arrived in the dark
lost and disoriented
(Through a dark stretch of trees,
the roar of the beach
calling.)
As the car cooled down
the sound of waves rose and blanketed.
Our minds grew into a vast night air.
We made beds in the ditch.
The loud breath of surf
exhaling and constant.
Sleeping on the wet ground.
In a dream I swim.
(I thought I heard some voice returning)
Out past waves rolling
broad deep sky.

Waves
04:56
|
|

Sleeping on the sand, mid winter, Neah Bay
Woken up by a strange lull in the roaring
Imagine a log in the waves further west, out to sea.
Ocean roar dream returns.

I Walked Home Beholding
04:04
|
|
||
The world was frozen
I left the studio
The whole town had been abandoned except for me.
I walked home beholding.
The lights in the park
The moving trees
The silent corners
The world's new cloak
A final breath of storm blows snowdrifts in the street
then blows away over the water.
On an island
across from town
Isolated
Close and alone
Looking across the water seeing people slowly living all their lives.
This is the feeling from inside an island body
(Looking out from inside a sea of thoughts, distant and quiet.)
Tossed on the waves
blown onto land
Grasping meaning
in churning mess
A moment of clear air breathing, seeing the expanse.
Totally at peace with the meaninglessness of living.
Drifting in a changing world
alone
Reaching for a solid thing
in vain
The stone dissolves in the same wind I swim through.
Where I live there is a constant roaring.
Bottomless absence
through a cloud hole
The sky was moving
I saw it drift
Seeing breathing waves of water roll in the sky.
The wind has increased.
