Grace Within the Rising Anew
New Moon July 14, 2026
Much Madness is divinest Sense—
To a discerning Eye—
—Emily Dickinson
Ars poetica
In the new wide night of my doubt
what comes to enclose me knows
how tenderly I cling to glints & portals
of wild compassion born of blacknblue
Tangled yarn
Whyfor the peculiar red pink purple hue
this bougainvillea with upwardness &
outside-the-window locomotion for July
as though the war on peace were not
Single eye
Gaze through yourself in focused Presence
startlement at the dusty unfurled seed
both highly & lowly cells compound profusely
we can see we can see only what we can see
POEM BY
Qayyum Johnson
