"That magic hour in the movies when even what doesn’t happen is narrative enough, and the sea, reduced to a source of beautiful longing, darkens, and makes a minor music."
Susan O’Dell Underwood
"Isn’t this dinosaur weather? The cicadas are ratchet-jawing, a serenade ugly in its devotion to beauty. They are finding one another. They are singing hymns to their brief infinity, monotone on and on into the universe, the sound of praising the universe."

“A few rungs from the top
of the hayloft ladder, my cousin
spreads his thin arms wide
and falls like a sparrow hawk
through invisible time. . . .”

“Cold morning, even sunlight
— from “November” by Maria Berardi
hunkered down.
Earth has borrowed the moon’s pallor,
certain, pure . . .”
