The poems seek their gods in that place where the natural and human worlds come together, where \"miserable cardinals comfort\/The broken seesaws\/And me who wants no comfort\/Only to believe.\" With tightly crafted, sensual lines, the poems are keenly aware of the deserts we inhabit, all the while marveling at the effortlessness of poetry and worship in a world so magnificently capable of proliferating itself and its beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShort Fantasia\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe plane descending from an empty sky\u003cbr\u003eOnto numberless real stars\u003cbr\u003eMakes a change in heaven, a new\u003cbr\u003ePattern for the ply of spirits on bodies.\u003cbr\u003eWe are here.
