A New Heaven, A New Earth

Luisa A. Igloria

February 29

The land no longer provides without fail  for those who faithfully labor and trust.   In the dream, the hills are packed tightly together.  When they open their arms, a thousand birds   fly blind, like arrows into the sun. A smell of burnt flesh fills the air, and news of cities exploded   into sand. Through a spyglass, we can see   a flotilla of ships pretending the pearl of the world   has not yet been discovered. Even in the dream,  I want to keep you safe. I want to tear down the over-  growth, to gather rain in flasks we can hide in our  clothing. We look for round shapes to cup  in our hands. Even in dream, we know the brilliance of time is hidden in the heart of secret things.
