22 May 2012: A man survived a fall into Niagara Falls, one of a handful of souls. News organizations report this man tried to end his life.
What did you hear on your cosmic journey, sir, that convinced you to stay?
At dusk,
when Bright Eye gazes across the distance, her luxurious lashes light upon the surface. The warm air stills. The tide moves. Blue herons soar and deer venture forth.
This is when they assemble. Unseen.
They breathe in. Deeply.
As,
one by one, they sing their note, chorus vibrates on the shore, sound waves circle up and up, crescendo in the clouds …
One long, luscious Ohmmmm … As each becomes their note.
Then,
just as suddenly as they begin, the singing frogs of Coos Bay release, look inward, reflect. Breathe from the soul.
Ohmmmm again.
Approach softly,
kiss the lip. Allow the mouth to open fully.
Note the shimmer, where it crosses into mist.
Let the sunbeams fall away,
beyond the shoulder. Blue and bitters, the color of salmon
Walk to the wind, pacing the nape of the neck.
Stand on air,
lift the heart. Hold the head in one fine line.
Hear the silence, where it crosses into song.
Wrap the water loosely
between the legs. Green and gritty, the scent of lightness
Embrace the body, until the day is done.
