Somewhere in the Remote Arctic
Somewhere in the remote arctic there’s a vast sea of oval glaciers each set as if in ivory and extending across the expanse as…
The sound of geese over the house
and in the house the prayer on the Prophet

puts a dome of life above us and a
sea of life below us and a
world of life all around us
and a shaft of living Light inside us
