Core issues

We revisit a few of our favorite places -- at Olana, again -- and a few of our favorite images, but with a different twist, looking for new insights and searching for a few edges of perspective. What are our central issues? What brings us together, and possibly, what drives us apart? Look at these images -- study them -- and consider the musings alongside. blog.amynelsonhahn.info

Bones, akimbo

I cannot help
the necessity of this:
I believe in centrality,
that as beings we loosen
and loan ourselves toward
a restless core.
You must disabuse me of it,
if you can, or else learn better
how to stickle less aggressively
against it -- fight me not.
Limb yourself to my arching.
Bones grow lovely when they
shape themselves accordingly.
Never interest for the time --
it passes of its own will;
and we will sure outlast it,
stems and all.
