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
