Soft Lights Blink Over a Harbor over a thousand miles away soft lights blink over a harbor where boats ride the swell of a sighing sea that erases traces left in the sand but casts treasures on the shore each night. the sky goes down orange and nacarat in a billow of gray clouds whose crimson linings speak of fair weather, of dawns as sweet as the flesh of the mango whose skin the heavens’ evening hues gently mimic. there are soft voices, and woodsmoke ascending a spiral staircase into the branchlocked stars, and lanterns gently swinging in the breeze. a scatter of emerald sparks leaps into the night. laughter. someone beating out the sound of their soul on steel drums. when the rains do come, they are a silver curtain that might at any moment part to reveal wonder. everyone there is tied to the tides, yoked to the moon, dancing like flames, curling like waves, bending like the grassy manes of dunes in the wind. the harbor lights are like bells. the bells are like skyrockets. the tide is like the beating of a heart, my heart, my heart is like the tide. my heart will ride the tides all the way to that safe harbor.

Speech is the small change of silence.

Speech may be barren; but it is ridiculous to suppose that silence is always brooding on a nestful of eggs.- George Eliot
