I pray, be. Weep not in the dead court
-yard for the unresolved
conflicts get buried in the ground
and spill over
cracking the column-beam connection
now water damage in the wall and
all because a mother feared her child might
be hurt in the yard.
If each pattern sustains other patterns, find
the wind,
marsh, dune, sandpiper. If an ocean’s
after you, run.
The only thing that has never broken its promise
(are you listening, God?)
is the sun.
Again, I only have dumb words for this, like, "Wow." And it's a Christopher Alexandar book?!
