A list of eleven liminal things
that aren't things
because they are both
physical and metaphysical:
1. Light
2. Breath
3. A dolphin's smile
4. The eye of a fawn
5. The new moon
6. The silence in a song circle
just after the song
7. Fireflies
8. An old book of poems found
in the attic on a rainy afternoon
9. Fragrances of the abandoned garden
10. The electric brain that lets go of thinking
11. A loon
I would have added the September mist over salal and huckleberries
in a stand of hemlock, but it settled into my marrow and made me long
for a body of fur...
