I had a dream last night that I recognized at once as something different. It came in a few parts, but was a continuation of itself, though I woke twice with a snoozed alarm, and slid back down to where I had been. Normally, if I wake, even if I can fall back asleep and …

SEAN
Oh, here where cold meets hot, wet meets dry, stillness of the sand by the drumming of the surf To throw yourself into the wave and unknown and return again and again to the ever-shiftingsame secure shore. Color still vivid as Eden’s first hues riot against white sand blue sky and reddened skin. Helios’ last true …
In the Cathedral: Images & Confessions

Sang Yong Sighs
Sang Yong sighs His calm visage leaning to a frown Pen marking the page of a word unknown A phrase devoid of context.
