“How to tell them apart?”
Asked some who’d seen them together
In all kinds of weather.
“Why try?”
Those who knew them replied.
“They are two of a kind,
One older in body
The other in mind.
One father, one son,
Always two, never one.
One sighted, one blind,
They live life, intertwined.”

In the City of Gold
Strings attach
New to old.
Alcove bells pulled to sing
So walls can
Echo their ring.

Now in the antiquated, hollowed space,
Prayers no longer have to brace
Against an aged, leaded grace.
Even as wall and ceiling hold
Cold memories of gilded old
And toil of many, still untold,
Awed orison can freely rise
Released from threat of long demise,
Through open air into the skies.

History turned
Onto itself.
An ossified
Coil
Of time.

Upon the oily river
It glides
In abeyance.
A coiled power,
Its motion suspended.
Energy
Liquified.

In golden glow of liquid light
As day transfers
Into the night
We wade to watch the sun
Alight.

As the clouds hurry on
And rare drops
Cease to pound,
Milky puddles remain
Atop pebbles half-drowned.
A liquid lull
Holds its breath
O’er wet loess ground.

Fluid sand
In low tide
Stretch
Lazy
Feathered
Rivers
Of time.
