Pause. Enter the cinematic everyday.
Walk the streets of your town.
Framing views. Accidental flux along
with your Way of Life. Freedom of impression.
Display by the people for the people.
Prismatic shuttering
shuddering
shattering light and dark.
Each particular, each metaphor entire.
You wonder in presence, certain of absence.

Ann Lauterbach and Cynthia Cruz speak:
I'm getting good at sailing
unaccompanied through time
holding on to delay
forfeiting
the familiar bridge
across a mirage
betrayal
whose voice concedes
and is still recalled
even as it bends
under the weight
of forgetfulness.
I'm getting good at counting
and at seeing
the view from the
window of a dream.

PRAYER
Please protect me
From my thinking.
And, please,
Glamoury Genet-like angels:
Come to me.
How can I not
Vanish.
The gleaming palace of my childhood,
Smashed. Once ferocious, now
Just a box
Of broken glass.
— Cynthia Cruz
from How The End Begins (2016)
