Flare Path

There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture’s eye hath not seen. ~ Job 28: 7 The Bible: King James Version A handsome pair of wolves recline on the opposite bank— nervous, alert, resting alongside the icefall. A green flash, a blue flash, the stars feel very near, and you and your fellow travelers turn east, toward home. ~ Amy Gerstler, Four Meditations on an Ice Puddle, IV in Crown of Weeds
