Augury

I gathered here to dance barefoot

On the moss carpet of the clearing

The black bird’s flight unseen

As quickly as I glimpsed it

An impossible weaving—

Through spaces clustered with life

Evergreen trees always making room

For one more to reach toward light

For this, a single raven invited to fly

Through a density of forest

To dance among the lanky swayers

Her wing span reach welcomed in

Witnessed, slicing the air slanted

As if more propelled by the cosmic

connective web space

Between pillars of fir, than repelled

The black bird’s appearance &

disappearance of impossibility

Buoys my reading of her flight;

Auspiciously

Entering my dance at edge of forest

Reminding me of Everything

Bleeping in and out of existence

Everything of density, in quantum

Everything dances in spaciousness

Even headed into darkness

We are moving toward the light

We are buoyed by the light

We are of the light—

Anything is possible.
