relentless hungry animal

with raven i hunt for You along a reach of mountain

eavesdrop on

a squabble of gulls wrestling

each other with flap of wing

i wait breathless for

little flits of sparrow songsters

to answer You

i follow the trail of tiny beetles

over the edge of wonder

i scour silver flashes of sea for messages

surrender to hypnotic waves pulsing

teasing my hopes

with empty bubbles

no answers lie within these surges

original treasure is buried

deep inside the center of birth

i excavate Your core

to find the answer

i already know

but cannot name
