- the sacred deep
Seer
“Let twilight purity/lure you/with/opal blue illusion”—Witness, Ellen Dionna
Here is my opal-blue illusion: seen
at once--cyan blue,
--another, threaded
with amber,
or translucent egg white,
like the eyes
of the half-asleep cat.
This opal
in my open palm
I only see
what I can see
from this distinct angle,
I can't know
or take it in
all at once.
I must
trust that all
the colors
are knowable
and do the work
to shift my weight,
gently,
to make slight
adjustments
in my seeing,
and hold hope
that what I discover
there
dwells awe and delight.
