“Hookah” by Baraholder
wet smoke lays down in languorous lungs
condensation to sweeten a bubbling glass
Turkish pipestem draws vapors round tongues
for savoring shish burned in bellies of brass
the mood climbs a flight of transcendent rungs
to a mellow state bourbon alone can surpass

Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte

Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
flights of fancy from New Zealand
You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be
