“A wedding is earth and water and a species of irreducible light and the flat belly of a harbor and a mango about to ripen and fall into gravity's caress and the waves subsiding and resuming their concerto in a minor key and the rush hour canceled by the stun of auspicious beginnings.” LightEarthFallWaterHoursKeysSpeciesWaveFlatsGravityMinorsBellyHarborsCaressRush Hour Book:The Blaze of the Poui: Poems Source: The Blaze of the Poui: Poems
“Thirty years ago, my sister, Gale (so named because a gale hit Boston Harbor the night she was born), some friends and I stole a boat in the middle of the night and sailed it out of the Santa Barbara harbor. Suddenly we were becalmed and the current began pushing us toward the breakwall. With no running lights and no power, we were dead in the water. Out of that darkness a steel hull appeared: it was the local Coast Guard cutter. My father, stern-faced and displeased, stood in the bow.” YearsLightRunningNightFatherWaterBornDarknessMiddleYears AgoCurrentsLocalsBoatThirtyPushingMy SisterBowsSteelCoastBostonSantaHarborsThirty YearsMiddle Of The NightGaleBarbaraCuttersHullSanta BarbaraCoast Guard Book:A Match to the Heart: One Woman's Story of Being Struck By Lightning Source: A Match to the Heart: One Woman's Story of Being Struck By Lightning
