Rerun from a year ago
in retreat from the night
every breath along the river
is held like a loaded gun
there's no need to press forward
take a step back and remain
hidden like the coyote
"every breath along the river
is held like a loaded gun"
What an image that is - especially in a poem that also has a hidden coyote! Makes one ask, who exactly is retreating from the night and why?
“Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.”
I understand this better now after watching your gorgeous little film.
