      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I thought of my father&#39;s praying
as I came to the shore
in star light and fog to sit patiently.</p>

<p>Is this glass empty or full of cutting wind?
the order of time eroded our firm arrangements
analogy without ground still points to the sky
a tree&#39;s shadow shelter from the blowing sand</p>

<p>I wait for the sun to turn back
a breath in, a whispering
a walk to the west in the dark
do my feet slow the earth&#39;s turning?</p>

<p>A white horse barely steps halfway ahead
and reveals her dark companion browsing</p>

<p>I retrace a path to shore
first light, fresh sand
but before sun rise
I left for solace among the trees</p>
