Discovering I Was and Was Not Alone

Discovering I Was and Was Not Alone DISCOVERING I WAS AND WAS NOT ALONE It was in a night forest of glowing aspen and beech, the flashing eyes of creatures forgetting me between blinks. Like stars, my superstitions salted darkness with past light. All that I did not know surrounded me, sage embrace of the cosmos. I had little more than intuition— faith and a priori scrying: I must slow-tumble the field stones of ignorance. Clouds overhead like giants looked down, then the shallow water I stepped in looked up at me all the way home. The river’s voice sighed syllables of everything forgotten; algebras of understanding thin-hid under the skins of opaque houses.

Abstract

DISCOVERING I WAS AND WAS NOT ALONE It was in a night forest of glowing aspen and beech, the flashing eyes of creatures forgetting me between blinks. Like stars, my superstitions salted darkness with past light. All that I did not know surrounded me, sage embrace of the cosmos. I had little more than intuition— faith and a priori scrying: I must slow-tumble the field stones of ignorance. Clouds overhead like giants looked down, then the shallow water I stepped in looked up at me all the way home. The river’s voice sighed syllables of everything forgotten; algebras of understanding thin-hid under the skins of opaque houses. RON HOUCHIN
