Silvia Scheibli
Meditation 3
How absurd
following
a blue-etched jaguar
carrying
aubergine light
in dragon flight buckets
while moments ago
asleep
on the back of
your hand
words appeared
pointing out lightning bugs
in the backyard
years ago
Meditation 4
This morning
palm fronds
encoded
by last night's storm
release
the wind's
lavender waist
and while
the affirmative chatter of orioles
glide among fibers
my coffee mug musings
return
to last night's
binocular script
hand-held for me
by an icy, slivered moon
in a fearful
burning sky
Meditation 5
The golden-etched
shadow
of a solemn screech owl
winked
at a red planet
in a blurry sky
Solitary
bleached stones
mumbled
words
only
willow leaves understood
painted
in Japanese hues
on paper-thin
tea cups
Blue-throated lizards
dozed
on varnished sand
ever alert
for
a sworn friendship
Silvia Scheibli lives on her finca, near the borderlands in south-east Arizona - a hot-spot for photographers and birders alike. And as long as there is no border wall, wildlife will be able to move freely along his unique Sky Islands Corridor, home of jaguars, bobcats, coatimundi, white-tailed deer and javelin. This exceptional landscape is very valuable for forming fresh Immanentist perceptions or way of seeing, that which Heidegger called 'Dasein.'
