entrance
~Jody Aliesan

stand quietly now
breathe slowly
until you get used to the dark

you will see nothing
but it will press less closely

your arm nearest your heart
raise it to that side
step sideways to that hand
palm out fingers loose
you will find a wall

warm or cool
damp or dry
rough or smooth

lean into it
feel it down your arm
against your cheek your lips
the side of your foot

stand straight again touching it
easily

breathe

step your left foot ahead
asking the ground
now the other foot
slowly keep walking
fingers lightly on the wall

this is the way in
also the way out

.

here is an opening
it has no floor
you have traveled down into a branch
of the tree of life

now

step in
........fall
..............feather
.......................down
.............................long
...................................shaft

into deep dry moss
sinking
springing

lie still
easily
until ahead you see
curved edge of light
first limb of the moon after earth's shadow
round door barely open

now

with your heart hand again
slip fingers into that bright crevice
pull darkness toward you

what do you see.
