Ivana Melgoza
has quoted
4 years ago
Hold fast what seem ephemera—
plain details that rise clear
beyond the fog of half-thoughts,
that rustling static, empty of metaphor.
Ivana Melgoza
has quoted
4 years ago
Thy moss gardens, the deep
constellations of green, the striate
rock furred with emerald,
inscribed with gold lichen,
with scarlet!
Ivana Melgoza
has quoted
4 years ago
The gleam of thy drenched
floors of leaf-layers! Fragrance
of death and change!
Ivana Melgoza
has quoted
4 years ago
a mountain,
forbearing—so far—from volcanic rage,
blesses the city it is poised above, angelic guardian
at rest on sustaining air; and that its vanishings
are needful, as silence is to music?
Ivana Melgoza
has quoted
4 years ago
How clearly it speaks! Respect, perspective,
privacy, it teaches. Indulgence
of curiosity increases
ignorance of the essential.
Ivana Melgoza
has quoted

Witness
Sometimes the mountain
is hidden from me in veils
of cloud, sometimes
I am hidden from the mountain
in veils of inattention, apathy, fatigue,
when I forget or refuse to go
down to the shore or a few yards
up the road, on a clear day,
to reconfirm
that witnessing presence.
Ivana Melgoza
has quoted
4 years ago
This mountain’s power
lies in the open secret of its remote
apparition
Ivana Melgoza

Mirage
Ethereal mountain,
snowwhite foam hovering
far above blue, cloudy ridges—
can one believe you are not a mirage?
Ivana Melgoza
has quoted
4 years ago
the mountain
retreats from so much pomp,
such flagrant and superficial pride,
and drifts above the horizon,
ghostly, irresolute, more akin
to a frail white moth
than to the massive tension
of rock, its own bones, beneath
its flesh of snow.
Ivana Melgoza
has quoted
4 years ago
But God
is imaged
as well or better
in the white stillness
resting everywhere
