night on the rock

sleepless sleepover on the rock

like kids all night exploration

rubble piles, roof tops, skeleton architecture against the sky

open spaces sprawling and closed trapped corners

envisioning stunts, fights, flight

shifting and opening souls

the power of the game of "yes", you who know the one, and in the cell house at that.

fire circle - ritual of building our first prayer bundle

sweet

without a forced sense of solemnity,

the power presents itself with ease

but my lungs crushed in the cell at 5am

when i tried to lie down and rest

finding i can navigate the weight of space when i'm in motion

working, engaging, activating

but to be still.

to sit with it

just sit and be still with it ?

i physically can not breathe.

escaped to sunrise vista

and an hour of sleep outside under the lighthouse

stone holds memory.
