and the hush of an early morning

time propitious to plain speech

space between the premonition
and the event

the small lovely realm
of the possible.”

“I was already dozing off in the shade, dreaming that the rustling trees were my many selves explaining themselves all at the same time so that I could not make out a single word. My life was a beautiful mystery on the verge of understanding, always on the verge! Think of it!”
Charles Simic, The World Doesn't End
