More We can ask, we can imagine, and we can even make friends with what’s finite the way we wait for the wafer to waste away on the warmth of our tongues. Yes, we can ask; to constellate the stars into fresh formations so that we could look up nightly and leave horoscopes behind for a glimpse beyond astrology. Yes, we can imagine: to forgive the sun for shining a rectangle through the window, a brick worthy of an eternal kingdom but just one, without mortar. We can even imagine more we might ask; not to request but to interview. And perhaps the power working in us is the answer we know is coming.
