Abstract

ATR/97.1 It wasn’t just the fire flaming us like two trees leaning into each other, branches and leaves slowly unfurling as they give themselves to heat and light and the luminous burn of silence. Not this only, but also the unspoken things that came alive between us, treasures harboring in the breath we blessed in the sharing, keeping vigil in the descent of wild tongues upon us, flesh and bone alive as on that first Pentecost—bearing witness to the truth we know, if at all, in the margins beyond saying: that love descends to meet us in our desires, joins us in a convergence we finally know only as a reckoning, gathering the lost distances and bringing us to the truth we know at the end of every beginning.
