G'nite 👋 🕊️

"Sometimes I am dizzy with the fear
of losing everything - the sea, the sky,
all living creatures, forests, estuaries:
we trade so much to know the virtual
we scarcely register the drift and tug
of other bodies
scarcely apprehend
the moment as it happens: shifts of light
and weather
and the quiet, local forms
of history ...

but this is the problem: how to be alive
in all this gazed-upon and cherished world
and do no harm ... "
