The rest is buried where shadows sleep.
They will awaken at dawn.
The [...]

“We transition from the clean page to the dizzying rush of word upon word to the saying said and the calm point that comes after the spirit has manifested itself in language. The paper holds the words; they are secure and steady there. We become steady as well. For the time being, mystery has unveiled [...]
