Do you have questions,
Ones that could not possibly be answered?
The assurance of peace,
Robbed.
I suppose now I must find solace in the unknown,
That perhaps ignorance could be my silver lining.
It is not.
Nightmares take shape from loose ends,
The brain defaults to fear when it must assume.

Father,  

what is it I see?

In this place down below

Where rich tides of life 

ebb, and then flow

 

Where beauty & horror 

Rub shoulders like friends 

And the dominant species 

Both destroy, and defend

 

What is it I see?

In a gathering storm

 

Not made from the seasons

All laiden with arms covered under his coat,

To not let the little...

Walking

with good wine,

a shower

A bed.

After the Meseta,

after the heat,

after the stones.

The green hills

the shady paths

the views.

The way is rocky and steep.

Don’t stumble,

keep your balance and

Breathe.

Peace around you.

And then there it is – La Faba.

And part of me will never leave.
