The Birthing



THE BIRTHING


            --for Vance
The face-shaping happened
in the time before time
arriving as being
emerging from cloud
to cloud focusing and gone
I glimpsed and saw
my own dying
and dying raised the camera
to the sky above the mountain
I was dead
in that terrorizing moment
my finger shutter-clicked
all evidence for the dreaming
here in my mountain testimony
presented in cloud-shaping-clarity
