AT LAKE CRESCENT, WASHINGTON

Suppose you find yourself

in some in-between space,

where no doors are clearly marked:

Enter here, you who would move forward.

Suppose even the currents

of your body lost their way,

and strange manifestations

disturbed the waters of your blood,

disrupted the electric currents of your heart,

beating faster than a tom-tom

in a wild warrior dance.

The chaos of your pulse and loadstones of fatigue

confuse you in contrapuntal castigations.

Then you might seek a lonely, ravaged place

where two mountains meet at Lake Crescent,

a narrow passageway between them.

Let yourself be ferried on shimmering glacial water

through a narrow portal no matter where it leads.

Know that when you pass through in-between

you finally find serene.
