                                                        traveling



everything     everywhere

               restless.  sometimes            quiet
                              
                                   almost forgotten   

But             once

alternate the distance between fields the sculptures connect continents
bloomsbury the world times atlas further landscapes if only we could

to nowhere draw the heart in nonconformity induce beauty—concept of the ideal
counterclockwise calculus a grain of sand



Marcia Arrieta's new collection of poetry, triskelion, tiger moth, tangram, thyme, was published by Otoliths earlier this year.
