RUTH DAIGON Handfuls of Time I gave my life to learning how to live Now that I have organized it all... It is just about over. Sandra Hochman No space, no separation only barefoot days and the eye heavy with moments as time nourished the moment's peak the rind of afternoon the evening husks of silence. It grew a living body for each hour as seeds exploded, eEEarth turned green and space was light and still. Nothing was ordinary newness pierced the heart and all we understood was motion. Dazzled by the wheel and its long journey Convinced we came from some time, somewhere and were real, we searched the alphabet traced letters into copy books leafed through pages springing back to the beginning, to old ways first ways, lost, unheard-of ways and studied all things visible revealed to us by light. Now, it guides with Benedictine patience glassed footsteps of November in our transparent lives as we gather handfuls of time to rub against our mouths and reassure each other We're here for a little while and forever is just another possibility.
