What is never anyway to the ocean that rocks her, the heavens that reach out to her retrospectively from that vista imprinted on her mind? It spirals her like a galaxy, coiling her longing into stars.
trails of sparkling dust–
secrets of ghost owls echo,
shadowing the moon

For earthweal, where Brendan has written about wild mind, the one that needs no device to set it free.
