una rondine frettolosa
in the act of living
patently secure
in the knowing
of immensity
of the passing of seasons
& the blue scent of mountains
not yet named...

una rondine frettolosa
to the ancient unanswerable tuned
laboring at starting out fresh
from hardship
from difficult desertions
building what must be built
into the landscape
into being as such per se...
