Book three of impromptu trilogy.

  Pilgrim Wonder


Our lives begin and expand toward something
humming a quiet tune from the night before.
Its clouds from another country—some thickening,
some heavy with slumber, shinning, orchestral—

they're humming a quiet tune that delivers the night
as pilgrim wonder, to question the divine presence
heavy with silver and incense and the evening light.
Astral expressionists; orbital supplicants; wavelets
        of grace
and pilgrim wonder questioning the presence of divine
presence in the violet-colored and budding night.
Astral expressionists; marvel advocates; wavelets
        of space
where structure is binary, moot, intent on resolution

in the violent and already thickening light.
Time, like a fabric, intricate, imcomplete where
structure is binary and resolution moot.  Intent,
we stand at an edge—near a vestige of weeds

as time, like a fabric, intricate, incomplete
then longed for a place where it could linger.
We stood at an edge near a vestige of weeds,
some points of reference casually withdrew.

Then, longing for a place where we could linger—
a traveled horizon—moving toward a somewhere
as some points of reference casually withdrew
to where all things remain safe from examination:

a traveled horizon moving toward a somewhere.
Our lives begin and expand toward something
where all things remain safe from examination
lost under clouds from another country, some
        thickening.
