The Gem

"Keep Digging.

There are no maps."


Just the signs that call you

out from your depths.


No Diamonds in the Mine

Leonard Cohen

insists.


Yet I see them

feel them

know them


so intimately


here


in the sound of cats crunching their

morning kibble

the hum of the old green refrigerator

surely on its last legs

the drift of smoke

across my view

as gravity pulls

down

the blue light


surrounding the mountain

hundreds of miles away

separated by ocean

and yet so close


I can hear your breath

glisten

on the glacial morning peak.
