“Not Yet Awake” Not awake or asleep. Just a moment to dream. Thoughts of night appear, Like waves on the sea. Voices call out their names. I am touched from afar. Their essence of longing, Extends. Now I lay me down to sleep. Now I lay me down to sleep. Sages counsel in dreams.

King Fish 04:49
“King Fish” I have been both a father and son. Now my work here is finished and done. Cast away— Oh, my King Fish, you cast toward the sea. Throw your line for yourself and for me. Cast away— Plain to see by your face and your smile, All your lines are in rivers and miles. Cast away— Calling, always calling, the waters know his name. Rivers ebb where the sun meets the sand. Standing silently, a boy and a man. Cast away— King Fish. match your spinners and spoons. In the morning, and the evening, or light of the moon. Cast away— Oh, my King Fish, you cast toward the sea. Throw your line for yourself and for me. Cast away— Calling, always, calling, the waters know his name.
