"Meditations on the Art of Distance, No. 8"
Tonight, within the confines
of a darkened tunnel,
along a valley's edge
carved by a stream
that feeds a river
that runs downstream from you,
I do not seal Pandora's Box.
Instead I leave it open,
a blessing on the place,
a way for me to bring you
into this holy valley,
this sepulchre,
this shrine unto my childhood.
Someday you will be here in the flesh
and I will show you where these words were writ
invisibly,
with frozen pen,
by flashlight's glow
and the blessing
of a night of stars.
For now, know that our tears of longing
still mingle
in these waters.
