5.2
A white open flash of Other.
Totally separate from this.
Heaven. Utter West. The
world across the seas. Tir-
na-Nog.
This life unrolls like a
ribbon of rolling meadow
and green. I see the trees
rivers, flow. And then, as if
a cliff… a black wall where
it all stops. is not there.
It does not unroll after my
going, but is simply all stopped
Like a play shadow box that
drops off its edge to the blackest
black.
This Other cuts across that. At
an angle, not serenely, but
as a different spatial plane
that intersects, but does not
daily see or is seen in
this one.
The vision comes sitting in a pew.
Simple, direct, a waking dream.
As an answer to the black box edge.
We were not here before, and then
we will be there, alive, open
dancing.
