RITING MYTH : : MYTHIC WRITING

           An Orbit of Understanding; A Pattern of Deepening

      For even as you have home-comings in your twilight, so has the
      wanderer in you the ever distant and alone.     ~Kahlil Gibran

On that hill

under that sky
I saw a shadow
lift its head


in that word
in that way
under that
last light.

…Then,
he said “mould”
but, I heard “mold”
and instantly, “decay”

and instantly
the shadow moved
instantly away.


“Write at that,” he said

till it grows on that hill
under that sky
in that word
its own way
that light. In that

last light
                something new.
