Threadsuns
over the grayblack wasteness.
A tree-
high thought
strikes the light-tone: there are
still songs to sing beyond
humankind.
from Breathturn Into Timestead: The Collected Later Poetry, A Bilingual Edition by Paul Celan, translated by Pierre Joris.(Farrar Straus and Giroux, 2014)
Invitation
Give these Great Barrier Reef Corals names. Choose one you particularly like and befriend it, listen to it say something.
The purple, it looks strong and yet can sway and not break within the rhythms of the silent undersea currents. A good companion for this momentous day ahead. May we all be surrounded and protected by a barrier reef as the tides rise across the nation.
The green one with the white flowers, imagine them all opening & closing. No name yet, something soft & friendly.
