“in the twilight hours before the dawn
I wandered in the oblique infinite of half-dreams
if there was a light of hope
it was so far away
my searching eyes could not make it out

it would have been the simpler choice
to fall back into the cavities of my mind
to dwell in the unreachable
to let go of my tethers to the goings of life

in the empty musings of the early mornings
before I found strength enough to leave him

I discovered that
some of our greatest moments
come and go
in the time it takes
to push up out of bed
and keep going”
― Anna Victor

“women are better for each other
than sunlight is for plants

women are the powerful reeds
that weave the basket of life
and make it strong enough
to bare the persistent burdens of being.”
― Anna Victor, in the way.

“the brooding mountains looked over
Cody Wyoming
two unmovable statues
against the tremendous sky

sagebrush fields and wild foxes
claimed the open land in between
wilderness and humanity

I lived in a place of mythic grandeur
the craft of God or a very lucky set of circumstance
that had painted the state’s corner
with such moving elegance and breathtaking visions

towards the east of the protective peaks
and down the fragrant river
the main street bustled
with familiar faces and travelers

noise and experience
the being of humans against the backdrop of god’s wildest country”
― Anna Victor, in the way.
